If you install the Application services components on a different computer than Content
Manager, you must configure the Application services components computer so that it knows the
location of Content Manager. The distributed components can then communicate with each
other.
The Application services components computer must know the location of the Content Manager
computers and the notification database to use for job and schedule information. The Application
services components computer must use the same notification database that the Content Manager
computers use. For more information, see Change the notification database.
If you installed more than one Content Manager, you must list all Content Manager URIs on each
Application services components computer.
Procedure
- Start IBM® Cognos® Configuration.
- In the Explorer window, click Environment.
- In the Properties window, change
the localhost portion of the Content Manager URIs property
to the name of any Content Manager computer.
- Specify the URIs for the remaining Content Manager computers:
- In the Value - Content Manager URIs dialog
box, click Add.
- In the blank row of the table, click and then type the full URI
of the Content Manager computer.
Replace the localhost portion of
the URI with a host name or IP address. All URI properties must use
the the same format: all host names or all IP addresses.
- Repeat the previous two bulleted steps for each URI to be added.
You
must include all Content Manager URIs in the list.
- Click OK.
- Change the localhost portion of the Gateway
URI property to the name of the computer on which you
plan to install the gateway component.
This will ensure
that users in different locations can connect to reports and workspaces
that are sent by email.
- Change the localhost portion of the remaining URI
properties to the name or IP address of your IBM
Cognos Analytics
server.
- In the Explorer window, under Security > Cryptography,
click Cognos, the default cryptographic provider.
- Under the Certificate Authority settings property
group, set the Password property to match what
you configured on the default active Content Manager computer.
- Ensure that all other cryptographic settings match what
you set on the default active Content Manager computer.
- From the File menu, click Save.
