The steps needed to configure the DB2® database for the report server depend on
the options you chose for the Rational Common Reporting server feature during the installation process. You might
need to create the DB2 content
store database, configure the IBM WebSphere Application Server instance to host
the report server, and build, deploy, and install the enterprise archive
(EAR) files.
Set up the Java™ Runtime Environment, configure Microsoft® SQL Server as the Cognos® content store, configure the IBM WebSphere Application Server instance to host
the report server, build and deploy the enterprise archive (EAR) files,
install the EAR files, and create the data warehouses.
Create an Oracle Listener and Net Service,
configure Oracle as the Cognos content store, configure the IBM WebSphere Application Server instance to host
the report server, build and deploy the enterprise archive (EAR) files,
install the EAR files, and create the data warehouses.
