export PATH

Folder Structure:
Note: Under BI we have three parts, the Content Manager, ATC [Dispatcher] and the Gateway
For each component we will create folders for each;
cog_cm - Content Manage
cog_atc - Dispathcher
cog_gw Gateway URI
So the folder structure will look like:
/$INSTALATION_DIR/ibm/CognosBI/c10_64/cog_cm/
/$INSTALATION_DIR/ibm/CognosBI/c10_64/cog_atc/
/$INSTALATION_DIR/ibm/CognosBI/c10_64/cog_gw/
New Database Required:
cogas
cognoscs
cognosns
Make sure the user has enough privilege for creating tables;

INSTALL:
Unzip the installable file
Go to /bi_svr_10.2.1_l86_ml/linuxi38664h/ folder
Run ./issetup
