About IBM® Cognos Analytics

The reporting component does not ship with security enabled. Cognos® Connection should be used to enable security for these components.

Implementations must use the Sterling™ Order Management System Software authentication mechanism to authenticate users for viewing reports.

The database for content store for Oracle must have either UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding. For more information about creating the database for content store, see the Analytics IBM Documentation.

You can copy the Oracle thin driver to <COGNOS_HOME>/drivers as classes12.jar. For more information about Oracle or Db2® drivers, see the Analytics IBM Documentation.

Analytics cannot access the <INSTALL_DIR>/properties/ folder. Include the connectivity information for Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation in the <ANALYTICS_HOME>/bin/analytics.properties file.
