Enable communication among distributed Cognos Analytics software components

If you install one or more Application Tier Components on a separate server, perform the these actions to ensure that they can communicate with other Cognos Analytics 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 Analytics documentation.
