Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.1 Product Documentation

Download


Abstract

This document describes the available product documentation updates for IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.1.

Download Description

The install kits referenced below contain only the product documentation for the Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.1 offering. They are provided as separate installs for clients who have not previously installed Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.1 Fix Pack 1, which included the updated product documentation in the server install kits. This documentation has not changed since Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.1 Fix Pack 1 and so is not included in later server install kits (e.g. 10.2.1 Fix Pack 2 or 10.2.1 Fix Pack 3) in order to reduce the size of the kit, and so reduce the time required to both download and install.

Prerequisites

These product documentation updates require that Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.1 is already installed. They are only applicable if you wish to install Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.1 Fix Pack 2 (or greater) and have not previously installed Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.1 Fix Pack 1, which included this same documentation in its server install kits.

Installation Instructions

To download a product documentation update

  1. Review the prerequisites.
  2. Download the appropriate compressed tar file using the links in the Download Package section.

Some browsers might change the downloaded file type from .tar.gz to a file type not recognized by the operating system. To correct this, change the file type back to tar.gz. Use of Download Director will prevent inadvertent renaming of files at download.

  1. Copy the downloaded compressed package to the appropriate operating system.
  2. Change to the directory where you have downloaded/copied the compressed package.

Note: GNU Zip can be obtained from www.gzip.org and GNU tar can be obtained from www.gnu.org/software/tar
