Install Cognos components. This will take a lot and I recommend to restart the c
omputer between every three components or so, in order to clear the cache, or wh
atever it is that it makes it run slower.
1.1 Create a folder Cognos in C drive or D drive and copy all the zip files from
the installation CD to that folder.
1.2 Unzip the zip files in Cognos folder ( For example, right click the zip fil
e Cognos 8 BI Server 8.3.7z --> ZipGenius --> Extract here, to Cognos 8 BI Serve
r 8.3)
1.3 Open the Win32 folder created under the extracted folder and run the issetup
.exe file. Do this for Cognos 8 BI Server 8.3.7z, Cognos 8 BI Modeling 8.3, Co
gnos 8 Business Intelligence Samples 8.3.
Step 2
Download OracleXEUniv.exe from Oracle site and install it. Create a new user cogn
os with any password (I chose "cognos" as well) and grant all privileges to it. (
NOTE - Character Set of the Database should be UNICODE)
Step 3
Locate ojdbc14.jar in oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\jdbc\lib and cop
y it to cognos\c8\webapps\p2pd\WEB-INF\lib
If classes12.jar exists in this folder, delete it or rename it.
Step 4
1. Download Apache2.2 free from Apache page and install it.
2. Locate the file httpd.conf file in the installation folder\Conf and add th
e following text at the bottom:
ScriptAlias /cognos8/cgi-bin "d:/program files/cognos/c8/cgi-bin"
