Software Prerequisite:
- Bi Server Installable 10.2
- Database client
- Apache Server httpd 2.2 [yum install httpd.x86_64]
- APR [Apache Run Time libapr yum install apr.x86_64]
- Database Server info
- OpenMotif Package [yum install openmotif.x86_64]

Create a softlink to an existing OpenMotif library
Ref: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21612290
1. Go to the /usr/lib directory.
2. Use to the following command to create a symbolic link to another version of libXm.so
and name the symbolic link the name of the missing library file; for example, libXm.so.4.
ln -s libXm.so.3 libXm.so.4
Set the Environment Variable:
Set JAVA Home path
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.55.x86_64/jre
[As per Environment]
echo $JAVA_HOME - Should show the above path

One can also set it for all at once at /etc/bashrc file.
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.55.x86_64/jre
JRE_HOME=/usr/java/jre1.7.0_40/bin
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/extra/ibm/CognosBI/c10_64/cog_gw/cgi-bin/
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME:$JRE_HOME:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
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

2. Make it executable - 'sudo chmod +x ArrayNetworksL3VPN_LINUX.bin'
3. Run it - 'sudo ArrayNetworksL3VPN_LINUX.bin' which will produce the 'array_vpnc'.
4. Launch it - './array_vpnc -hostname [site] -username [username] -passwd [password]'
5. To stop it - [control-c or a similar command break sequence]
On the Box [Command Prompt]:
go to <Folder Location> /home/chetu1
Execute:
