Installing custom report authoring on a separate machine
Hi folks,
I'm trying to install RQM custom reporting in a three machine configuration, one box as a report authoring platform, a custom report server, and the database. I believe, based on the documentation I've been reading that this should be a supported configuration.
When I try to install the report authoring components (as described here) I don't have the option to select "Rational Quality Manager Custom Reporting Development Tools" or "XML Data Configuration", only "Custom Reporting," which then asks me if I want to install WebSphere. I think this means it thinks I'm installing the report server, not the authoring platform.
Any guidance on whether the three machine scenario is supported, or on how I'm trying to install this incorrectly will be gratefully accepted.
tia,

One answer
I noticed the same thing. I guess the help installation documentation is not correct, there is no such option.
But you can do the following: go on with the installation and there is a step where you choose what are you going to install. Choose to manually install everything: the application server, the database and the cognos components.
Then you should be able to copy the different installation for each machine.
I haven't tried so, but I guess that's the way it should be done.
