Cognos Business Intelligence 10.1.1 Software Environments

All IBM Cognos BI 10.1.1 32-bit versions will integrate with 32-bit 3rd party libraries only. IBM Cognos BI 10.1.1 64-bit installs will integrate with 64-bit Java environments only, other integration points require 3rd party 32-bit libraries.

All references to Windows refer to Windows on x86 or x86-64 architecture.

Software environments for IBM Cognos 10.1.1 are listed as Active, Compatible or Not Supported. Environments denoted as active are environments currently tested by IBM Cognos. Although environments denoted as compatible may also be tested, testing may be limited or support may be based on compatibility statements from IBM 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 IBM Cognos releases.

Footnotes
(1) The Transformer UI is available on Windows platforms only.
(2) Data Manager is not available for the Linux on IBM System z platform. The following RDBMS are supported as read-only: MySQL, Postgres, HP Vertica, Paraccel, EMC Greenplum, Actian Vectorwise, Teradata Aster Data.
(3) Customers are requested to move up to Novell SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 SP3 to avoid known performance problems on SP1.
(4) Not supported for IBM Cognos ATC components, PowerPlay 8.4, Planning 8.4, Controller 8.4.1. IBM Cognos Metrics Server 10.1.1 requires Fix Pack 1 for 64-bit Metric Server support.
(5) Fix Pack 17 (6.1.0.17) or above is required for Linux on System z.
(6) Customers using the IQD Bridge installation option for IQD sources should consult the Series 7 Version 4 MR4 supported environments page for the Transformer hosted operating system and its' supported data sources.
(7) Oracle 11g Release 1 via Oracle 10g Release 2 client on Linux for System z.
(8) The sources listed have ODBC drivers that conform to at least the ODBC 3.5 specification or higher. There are many data sources not listed which have ODBC connectivity from Windows using ODBC drivers to the 3.5 (or higher) specification. These sources are supported on Windows only but are not actively tested.
(9) PowerCube security sources are limited to the version of Transformer being used and by the target platform operating system hosting the Content Manager component.
(10) The dynamic query mode is recommended for new applications of IBM Cognos Business Intelligence. When leveraged from a 64-bit install, DQM will leverage 64-bit connectivity to the data source where available.
(11) The dynamic query mode is recommended for new applications of IBM Cognos Business Intelligence.
(12) Connecting to DB2 on z/OS, the driver version must be at least JCC 3.7 (from DB2 9.1 for LUW Fix Pack 5+) or JCC 3.42 (from DB2 9.5 for LUW Fix Pack 2).
(13) The JSQLConnect JDBC Driver is bundled with the product for use with IBM Cognos BI 10.1.1 and Microsoft SQL Server products only.
(14) The only version of Firefox that IBM actively supports is the Extend Support Version of Firefox ESR 17 (see http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/). If customers use the non-ESR version of Firefox (version 10, 11, 12,…) it is our best estimation that changes in the current and future versions of the Firefox browser will not cause issues with our product used as long as Mozilla does not remove, explicitly or inadvertently disable functionality that the browser based tools rely on. However we recommend that you contact IBM support if you do encounter any such issues. For browser levels higher than the levels that have been certified with Cognos BI, Customer Support will accept usage-related and defect-related service requests. As with operating system and virtualization environments, if IBM support cannot recreate the issue in our lab, we may ask the Cognos BI customer to recreate the problem on a certified browser.
(15) Not for Event Studio.
(16) A plugin to view or save as MHT web archive files such as UnMHT is required for Active Report in Firefox.
(17) Exports targeting previous Excel versions such as Excel 2003 or Excel 2007 can be opened in Excel 2010.
(18) Fix 3.0.1.0-LC-Multi-SEARCH-CRLO61763 is required.
(19) IFixLO56863 and IFix LO60522 are required.
