Deploying the Cognos BI 10.2 component on a mainstream application server

Ibm®cognos®business FDI is a multi-tier architecture product that can be divided into three tiers: Web servers, business tiers, and data tiers. These three layers can be isolated through a network firewall. The Cognos BI User Interface (browser and Fat client) is located on the three floor. As shown in Figure 1:
