Supported environments

To ensure that your product works properly, apply all of the required operating system patches, and use only the supported versions of third-party software.

To review an up-to-date list of environments that are supported by IBM® Cognos® Analytics products, including information on operating systems, patches, browsers, web servers, directory servers, database servers, and application servers, see the IBM Software Product Compatibility Reports page (www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27047186).

Unless otherwise indicated, IBM Cognos products are compatible with later versions of patches or service packs from the versions stated.

It is important to note that the Linux operating system is available in a number of distributions and supports a number of hardware platforms. Ensure that the combination of the operating system and hardware that you are using is supported.
