Supported Environments
You can view an up-to-date list of environments supported by Cognos products, such as
operating systems, patches, browsers, web servers, directory servers, and database servers on
the Cognos support site (http://support.cognos.com). It is important to apply all required
operating system patches and to use only the versions of third-party software that are supported
for a Cognos product. Otherwise, your product may not work properly.

Install Framework Manager
You can install Framework Manager on the same computer as ReportNet components, or on a
different computer.
Before you install Framework Manager, we recommend that you close all programs that are
currently running to ensure that the installation program copies all the required files to your
computer.
Also, ensure that you have administrator privileges for the Windows computer you are installing
on.
We recommend that you install and configure all ReportNet server components, before you
must install Framework Manager.
If you are installing Framework Manager in the same directory as ReportNet, stop any
ReportNet services that are running. Otherwise you are prompted to do so during the
installation.
Tips
• If you are not an administrator, ask your system administrator to add you to the
Administrator group on your computer.
• If you use an Oracle database as a data source for your reports, you must set the
NLS_LANG (National Language Support) environment variable on each computer where
Framework Manager and the ReportNet server is installed. This variable enables
multilingual support. The value of the variable determines the locale-dependent behavior of
ReportNet. Error messages, sort order, date, time, monetary, numeric, and calendar
conventions automatically adapt to the native language and locale.
The NLS_LANG environment variable has three components:
• language
• territory
• character set
To set the NLS_LANG environment variable, type:
NLS_LANG = language_territory.UTF8
An example is: NLS_LANG = JAPANESE_JAPAN.UTF8
