Troubleshooting
Problem
When installing Cognos Analytics 11.0.10 on Linux platform with silent mode, it is noticed that launching Cognos Configuration displays all components regardless of what entries are specified in the response file For example, response file contains following when user only wants to install Application Tier only BISRVR_CA_INSTALL=1 BISRVR_CA_TOOLS_INSTALL=0 USER_INSTALL_DIR=/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11 BISRVR_CUSTOM_FIRST=1 BISRVR_CUSTOM_EXPAND=0 BISRVR_FEATURE_DATATIER=0 BISRVR_FEATURE_APPTIER=1 BISRVR_FEATURE_GATEWAY=0 BISRVR_FEATURE_SAMPLES=0 #Install #------- -fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/Uninstall_IBM_Cognos_Analytics.lax=Ye s -fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/configuration/preserve/preserve.txt=Y es -fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/configuration/preserve/.ca_base_prese rve.txt=Yes -fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/UnixSetup.sh=Yes For silent (unattended) installation, batch script contains following commands For example. install_location\ca_srv_win64_11.0.10.18031213.exe -i silent -f location\response_filename Manual installation using GUI option is working as expected
Symptom
- Cognos Configuration is displaying all components including Content Store, Content Manager, Gateway URI entries
- Installation directory size is getting bigger as it is installing full components
Environment
Linux
Resolving The Problem
Workaround is updating response file with the following entry in the response file
BISRVR_INSTALLTYPE_CUSTOM=1
For example, response file will now appear as following
BISRVR_CA_INSTALL=1
BISRVR_CA_TOOLS_INSTALL=0
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11
BISRVR_INSTALLTYPE_CUSTOM=1
BISRVR_CUSTOM_FIRST=1
BISRVR_CUSTOM_EXPAND=0
BISRVR_FEATURE_DATATIER=0
BISRVR_FEATURE_APPTIER=1
BISRVR_FEATURE_GATEWAY=0
BISRVR_FEATURE_SAMPLES=0
#Install
#-------
-fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/Uninstall_IBM_Cognos_Analytics.lax=Yes
-fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/configuration/preserve/preserve.txt=Yes
-fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/configuration/preserve/.ca_base_preserve.txt=Yes
-fileOverwrite_/data_1/perf/install/cognos/c11/UnixSetup.sh=Yes
Run the installation command and you will now see expected behavior
install_location\ca_srv_win64_11.0.10.18031213.exe -i silent -f location\response_filename
