Install Framework Manager

To install Framework Manager, use the appropriate product disk. When prompted to select the components, install all the components that are selected by default.

Procedure

If you are installing in a directory with other IBM® Cognos® BI components, stop the IBM Cognos service.
Do one of the following:
- Insert the product disk.
  If the installation wizard does not open automatically, go to the operating system directory, and double-click issetup.exe.
- Go to the location where the installation files were downloaded and extracted and then double-click issetup.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.
Follow the directions in the installation wizard to copy the required files to your computer.
If you are installing IBM Cognos BI on a computer that already has ReportNet or an older version of IBM Cognos BI, and you want to keep the older version running, you must install IBM Cognos BI in a different directory.

If you are installing in a directory that contains other IBM Cognos BI components, you are prompted to create backup copies of the files that will be replaced.
In the Finish page of the installation wizard, do the following:
- If you want to see the log files, click View for the appropriate log file.
- If you want to see late-breaking information about the product, select the check box for IBM Cognos Release Notes.
- If the server components are configured, select the IBM Cognos Configuration check box so that you can configure Framework Manager immediately.
  If the server components are not configured, ensure that the IBM Cognos Configuration check box is clear. You can later configure Framework Manager using the Microsoft Windows operating system Start menu to start IBM Cognos Configuration from the shortcut folder.
- Click Finish.

What to do next

To ensure the security and integrity of IBM Cognos BI, it is important to protect the installation directory from unauthorized or inappropriate access.
