Remediation/Fixes
The recommended solution is to apply the fix as soon as practical. As the fix
is in a shared component across the Business Intelligence portfolio, applying
the BI Interim Fix will resolve the issue. Note that the prerequisites named in
the links are also satisfied by an IBM Cognos Metrics Manager install of the
same version.
