Cognos DecisionStream Series 7 Version 2 (7.1) MR4 Software Environments
 Product documentation
 
Abstract
Below are the environments supported by Cognos DecisionStream 7.1 MR4. They are listed as either active or compatible. Environments denoted as active are the environments tested by Cognos.

Although environments denoted as compatible may also be tested, testing may be limited or support may be based on upward compatibility statements from Cognos partners and third-party vendors. Older releases of environments may transition from active to compatible over time as significant testing would have occurred in previous Cognos releases.
