Cisco Cisco Prime Service Catalog 10.0 Installation Guide

You need only multiply these requirements by the number of Cognos users to estimate this most 
volatile aspect of disk usage.

This section describes how to install the Cognos 8.4.1 Software.

You must log in as a user with administrative privileges to perform the installation tasks described in this 
section.

Access the Cisco product download web site and authenticate with the user name and password provided 
to you. 

Search for the product name “Cisco Prime Service Catalog Reporting”, or navigate within the product 
selector to locate the Cognos Business Intelligence installer and fixed packs.

Choose Business Intelligence Install and download the following files under version 8.4.1 to your 
Cognos application server machine:

Extract all three zip files in a temporary directory, such as C:\CognosSoftware, on the Cognos 
application server.

Delete the JAVA_HOME environment variable, if it exists on the Cognos machine. This is because 
Cognos installation program will use its embedded Java, which may conflict with the version of Java 
defined for JAVA_HOME environment variable.

(Assuming that you extracted the Cognos software under the C:\CognosSoftware directory) Open the 
folder C:\CognosSoftware\CZA87ML\winx64.

Double-click issetup.exe to launch the Cognos Setup program.

Walk through the installation wizard by choosing all default values presented on the screen, until you 
get to the Component Selection screen.

Choose only the components as shown below with the green check marks:
