You can install the IBM®
Cognos® Analytics
gateway on one or more computers. If you have a web farm, you can install an IBM
Cognos Analytics
gateway on each web server.
Before you begin
Go to the IBM Cognos Analytics on
Premises 12.0.x Supported Software Environments
(https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6966712) to
verify that the required patches are installed on your computer.
Ensure that the temporary directory has at least 5 GB of memory.
Tip: The temporary directory is set with the environment variable
IATEMPDIR for the UNIX or Linux operating system or with TMP
for the Microsoft Windows operating system.
Procedure
- Start the installation wizard.
-
For UNIX or Linux, go to the operating system directory and type:
./ca_srv_platform_build.bin
Tip: When you use the ca_srv_<platform>_<build>.bin command with
XWindows, Japanese characters in messages and log files may be corrupted. When installing in
Japanese on UNIX or Linux®, first set environment variables LANG=C and LC_ALL=C (where C is the language code, for
example ja_JP.PCK on Solaris), and then start the installation wizard.
If you do not use XWindows, run an unattended installation. For more
information, see Silent installation, uninstallation, and configuration.
-
For Microsoft Windows, go to the operating system directory, or where the installation files
were downloaded, and double-click
ca_srv_platform_build.exe.
- Select the language to use for the installation.
The language that you select determines the language of the user interface. All supported
languages are installed. You can change the user interface to any of the installed languages after
installation.
-
Select the Custom installation option, and follow the directions in the
installation wizard to copy the required files to your computer.
- Click Finish.
