1. Extract the Cognos Analytics Gateway Customization for Oracle InForm archive from the Oracle InForm installation archive to a location that you can access from the Cognos Gateway Server.
2. On the Cognos Gateway Server, run the setup.exe program file from the extracted archive.

   • Cognos Application Server FQDN—Fully qualified domain name of the Cognos application server or dispatcher.
   • Cognos Application Server Port—Port number used to communicate with the Cognos application server or dispatcher. Enter 9300, unless a different port was manually configured.
