Multi-Instance IBM Cognos Connection

Support has been added to allow IBM® Cognos® Connection to reference content in other installations of IBM Cognos Analytics.

This provides support for multi-version coexistence, which allows customers to stage their upgrade process by allowing two versions of IBM Cognos Analytics to be accessed through a single portal, preventing disruptions to end users.

For example, users can access IBM Cognos Analytics Version 8.4 or IBM Cognos Analytics Version 8.3 content from within the IBM Cognos Connection Version 10.1.0 portal.

It is also possible to utilize this feature to provide access to content through IBM Cognos Connection from multiple installations of IBM Cognos Analytics Version 10.1.0 in a large enterprise.
