Run Framework Manager

After you configure the Controller database connection and COM+ Server, test your configuration settings to confirm that you can start IBM® Cognos® Controller and connect to a Controller database.

You can test your IBM Cognos Controller installation and configuration on a client computer by starting IBM Cognos Controller from IBM Cognos Connection or from a URL, and by running the IBM Cognos Controller Link for Microsoft Excel. You can test from IBM Cognos Connection only if you are using IBM Cognos Controller native authentication.

Procedure

  1. Start the IBM Cognos service.
  2. To start Framework Manager, from the Start menu, click Programs, IBM Cognos, Framework Manager.

    If you see the Welcome page of Framework Manager, your installation is working.
