Chapter 5: Installing Framework Manager 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. Default Settings for Framework Manager The following table lists the default ReportNet ports and URI settings. After installation, you can use the configuration tool to change the settings. You can also change them by editing the crnstartup.xml file in the crn_location\configuration directory. Component Default Description Gateway SDK URI http://localhost:80/crn/cgibin/cognos.cgi http://localhost:9300/p2pd /servlet/dispatch The URI to the ReportNet gateway The URI to the dispatcher Log Server Port 9362 The port used by the local log server 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 64 Cognos ReportNet TM
