Installing SA Cognos Bridge
The System Architect Cognos Bridge provides a bridge for communication between System Architect and the IBM Cognos framework.
The System Architect Cognos Bridge is installed independently from System Architect and IBM Cognos.
During the installation process, the Cognos Schema Generator and Data Retriever Utility are installed. Additionally, a help file which describes how to use the utilities is also installed. The Cognos Bridge can be installed on the same computer where IBM Cognos or IBM Cognos Framework Manager are installed. It can also be installed on a different computer to facilitate the configuration of the Operational Database Source database. The installation assumes that all required IBM Cognos components are installed on the same computer.
If you are installing the Cognos bridge on the same computer where System Architect or System Architect XT is installed, they must be the same version as the System Architect Cognos Bridge.
You do not need to install the Cognos Bridge to create reports.
