Install the IBM Cognos Business Package for Version 7.1

The IBM® Cognos® business package is a Software Component Archive (.sca) file named com.ibm.cognos.sca.

This package contains IBM Cognos Navigator, IBM Cognos Search, IBM Cognos Viewer, IBM Cognos Extended Applications, IBM Cognos Metric List, IBM Cognos History Chart, IBM Cognos Impact Diagram, IBM Cognos Custom Diagram iViews, and the installation_location\cps\sap\package\com.cognos.war file.

You must be logged on to the portal with administrator privileges and be able to access the com.ibm.cognos.sca file from your file system or from the network file system. If the IBM Cognos installation is not within your network access, you must manually move the com.cognos.war file to an accessible location.

Tip: If you are running SAP version 7.1 with IBM Cognos Business Intelligence, Version 8.4 or earlier, and you deploy IBM Cognos BI Version 10.1.0, you might get a deployment error saying that com.cognos.pct.iview already exists (or that a similar file owned by sap.com already exists). If this happens, undeploy both com.cognos.epa and com.cognos.pct.iview and redeploy the com.ibm.cognos.sca file.

Use the SAP Netweaver Developer Studio software to add and deploy the Software Component Archive. Typically, the Software Component Archive is added to the Install_Dev_Studio\SAP\IDE\CE folder.
