Chapter 1: ReportNet Before implementing ReportNet, decide how you will install ReportNet in your environment. You can install all ReportNet components on one computer, or distribute them across a network. The best distribution option depends on your reporting requirements, resources, and preferences. Configuration requirements differ depending on whether you install all components on a single or multiple computers. Infrastructure Resources ReportNet integrates easily into your existing infrastructure by using resources that are in your environment. Some of these existing resources are required, such as a Java Virtual Machine or a third party database for the content store. Other resources are optional, such as using a third-party security provider for authentication. By default ReportNet uses Tomcat as an application server. You can configure ReportNet to run on application servers such as WebSphere or WebLogic that you currently use in your reporting environment. Cognos Components The following components provide the functionality for ReportNet and are the tools you use. Framework Manager Framework Manager is a Windows-based metadata modeling tool for ReportNet. You use Framework Manager to create and manage the metadata required for the reporting functions performed by ReportNet. The metadata is stored in the ReportNet content store and is published to one of the ReportNet reporting tools as a package. Report Studio Report Studio is a Web-based report authoring tool. Use it to create, present, and distribute business intelligence (BI) reports that analyze corporate data according to specific information needs. Query Studio Query Studio is an ad-hoc reporting tool. Use it to retrieve specific information from a data source. This data is organized and formatted as a report that you can save, analyze, and distribute. Cognos Connection Cognos Connection is the portal to ReportNet. The portal provides a single access point to your corporate data available in ReportNet. Use the portal to view, create, or edit reports to suit your business needs. Administrators use the portal to administer servers, optimize performance, set access permissions and to schedule and distribute reports. Installation and Configuration Guide 11
