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.
