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 MR2 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 8.1 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 8.1.2 MR1 products.
