Enable communication among distributed Cognos 10 BI software components

If you install one or more Application Tier Components on a separate server, to ensure that they can communicate with other Cognos 10 BI reporting components:

Configure cryptographic properties.
Specify all Content Manager URIs.
Specify the Dispatcher URIs.
Specify the Dispatcher URI for external applications.
Configure the Cognos Report Server Notification Store property to point to the Content Store database. This is described in the online Help notes in the Cognos Configuration utility.
Note: This is only necessary if you are using a multiple server environment where the Cognos Report Server and the Cognos Content Manager are on separate servers.

For more information, see the Cognos 10 BI documentation.
