@rajath  Can you take a look at the IBM KB article - https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/cm-cfg-5036-content-manager-failed-connect-content-store Also, it looks like you are using Oracle DB. You will need to update the drivers in Cognos Analytics (install location > ibm > cognos > analytics > drivers) to now use oracle driver. https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/cm-cfg-5036-content-manager-failed-connect-content-store Hope this helps. ...

@dbeckner  To my knowledge, it should be.  We would however need to test this on our end as well to confirm.  ... View more

@dbeckner  For FNMS 2021 R1 version, IBM Cognos uses log4j-1.x and 2.x jars.  FNMS 2021 R1 is on IBM Cognos version 11.0.13, that was identified to be impacted by the security vulnerabilities posed for log4j. https://www.ibm.com/blogs/psirt/an-update-on-the-apache-log4j-cve-2021-44228-vulnerability/ I believe your security team is correct. Log4j.1.x is end of life.  Flexera is working to upgrade analytics which will upgrade log4j version as well as include any log4j mitigations. We do not have an ETA at the moment, but are aiming for FNMS 2022 R2. Just so you know, the FNMS 2022 R1 release contains the updated installers for log4j mitigation for Cognos version, 11.0.13 (this version is same as FNMS 2021 R1, but includes log4j mitigation). ...

@dbeckner  We follow the course on what IBM sets in their website. Per the link, https://www.ibm.com/blogs/psirt/an-update-on-the-apache-log4j-cve-2021-44228-vulnerability/, IBM has provided remediation, which I believe should work as stated. This link provides additional information on what IBM security has analyzed and provided remediation on. https://securityintelligence.com/posts/apache-log4j-zero-day-vulnerability-update/?_ga=2.10012661.158993233.1650905466-958351102.1649788078 If you need further information, let us know. ...

@DiannaB  Yes, Case 2 and Case 3 (over the top install) would work against an installation where JndiLookup class was removed. This was tested internally. We will always recommend our customers to take full backups - Content Store DB backup and Cognos install directory full backup, before applying any updates/ patches. ... View more

Flexera’s FNMS Analytics platform provides data models that enable you to run analyses and build reports.  To make the most of these models, we’ve provided a quick best use guideline. The Flexnet Manager Platform Reports and Dashboard provides detailed information sourced from the FNMP operational data. Thus, it is recommended that this data model be used for reporting purposes, and not for dashboards. The Flexnet Manager Platform DataWarehouse (analysis) is a sub-set of the legacy data model. This model provides information on the Installation and Consumption analysis. It is advised to use this data model for reporting purposes, and not for dashboards. The Flexera Data Models and Flexera Asset Management Model contain aggregated data which can be used for both reports as well as dashboards. The above recommendations are provided for optimal performance. ... View more
