All versions stated of an environment presume the initial release of a 3rd party product without any need for patches/service packs or equivalent terms unless stated. Equally, unless stated, we presume that the product has not been configured to disable new features (compatibility modes) and that all patches/service packs are upward compatible for our products.
The software environments listed are applicable to those environments configured to use the Latin 1 code page only. All Cognos products are 32-bit with the exception of Cognos TM1 64-bit. Cognos products will integrate with 3rd party 32-bit libraries only. All references to Windows refer to Windows on x86 Architecture.
Software environments for Cognos 8 are listed as active, compatible or not supported.
Environments denoted as active are the environments tested by Cognos. Although environments denoted as compatible may also be tested, testing may be limited or support may be based on upward compatibility statements from Cognos partners and third-party vendors. Older releases of environments may transition from active to compatible over time as significant testing would have occurred in previous Cognos releases.
Cognos is committed to supporting the latest technologies being used by our customers. As we move forward in our support for these newer technologies, Cognos 8 BI 8.2 will be the last release to support the following environments:
The locale, character set, and language information found on the page linked below are supported by Cognos 8 BI 8.2 products.
