Body

The  CRIMA1217E  error tends to be a general error, and so it is necessary to check the install logs.
In this case the tcr.cognos.out log file showed the error:
Error: Failed to find file "/opt/netcool/distrib/all/unzip_jazz_tcr/TCRCognos/BI/linuxi38664h/setup.csp". Unable to continue.
This can indicate an issue with the filesystem that the data is down loaded to not being a local filesystem.
The data to be installed must be put on a local filesystem.  
However with this instance this was not the issue.  It was found that the disk  format needed to be ext4 instead of the xfs it was first set up as. 
Once the disk format was ext4 then the install worked correctly.
Note: if there is a failed install, make sure it is all removed before the install is tried again.
