Cognos ReportNet 1.01 / 1.02 MR1 Software Environments

Updated: December 4, 2007

 

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 products, with the exception of Tru64, are 32-bit products. Cognos products will integrate with 3rd party 32-bit libraries only. All references to Windows refer to Windows on Intel only.

Cognos ReportNet Supported Locales, Character Sets, and Languages

Information on the locales, character sets, and languages that are supported by Cognos ReportNet.

Supported Locales, Character Sets, Languages* (115 KB, PDF)

Cognos ReporNet can be configured to run in locales other than those listed, but only those listed are supported. In unsupported environments there may be problems with collating, display, etc. If you are running in an unsupported locale and experience difficulties, you should attempt to reproduce them in a supported locale prior to calling support.

 

Below are the environments supported by Cognos ReportNet 1.01 / 1.02 MR1 English, French, German, Italian, and Japanese. They are listed as either 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.
