Web Browsers

Last Updated: 2018-June-5
Browsers	All Components¹
Google Chrome²	34 and higher
Mozilla Firefox	All ESR versions - minimum ESR 31 for 5.2.11+
Microsoft Internet Explorer	10 & 11³ - minimum 11 for 5.2.11+
Web Browser Notes: A minimum screen resolution of 1280 x 1024 pixels is recommended on desktop computers for all browser versions. IBM Spectrum Control support will support newer versions of the browsers as long as the vendors do not remove or disable functionality that IBM Spectrum Control relies upon. Customer support will accept usage-related and defect-related service requests. As with operating system and virtualization environments, if IBM support cannot recreate the issue in our lab, we may ask the client to recreate the problem on another browser version in order to determine if a product defect exists. Defects will not be accepted for cosmetic differences between browsers or browser versions that do not affect the functional behavior of the product. If a problem is identified in IBM Spectrum Control, defects will be accepted. If a problem is identified with the browser, IBM may investigate potential solutions or work-arounds that the client may implement until a permanent solution becomes available. Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2.x Review the IBM Cognos Business Intelligence 10.2 Supported Software Environments for specific browser support Cognos Analytics 11 Review the IBM Cognos Analytics 11 Supported Software Environments for specific browser support ¹ Jazz for Service Management and the Tivoli Common Reporting component, including Cognos, are included in the certified listing for All Components. Cognos 10.2.x Report Studio does not support Firefox 57 "Quantum" browser. Review Cognos APAR PI90438 for more information. ² Data in the resource tables for Servers, Storage, Fabrics or Hypervisors pages will not load in the Chrome web browser when zoomed to levels of 110%, 90%, 67% or 33%. All other zoom levels work properly. This also affects information under Home (Performance Monitors, Alerts, Tasks) and Groups (Applications/Departments). ³ To create and work with Cognos reports using Internet Explorer version 10 or 11, you must turn on Compatibility View in the browser. If Compatibility View is off, you will see error CM-REQ-4158.

Jazz™ for Service Management

Note: Cognos 10.2 end of support (EOS) was April 30, 2018

Cognos Business Intelligence Reporting 10.2.x, along with Jazz for Service Management and the Tivoli Common Reporting component, are now end of service. The information below is for historical reference only. IBM Spectrum Control 5.2.15.2 is the last release that supports Cognos 10.2.x. IBM Spectrum Control 5.2.16 and later support Cognos Analytics 11. For more information see the Cognos end of support dates: https://www.ibm.com/software/support/lifecycleapp/PLCDetail.wss?q45=L030160L12183F00
