Cognos 10 Fix Pack List
Fix Packs are an important part of your maintenance strategy of your IBM Cognos solution and are available to all supported customers.
A Fix Pack is a product update that contains a cumulative collection of code fixes that have been made since the last release of the product. These code fixes may be a result of several interim fixes as well as other code fixes identified to be important to our customers. Unlike individual interim fixes, a Fix Pack will undergo a regression testing cycle to validate the quality and integrity of the combined set of fixes. It is important to note that interim fixes are not made available to all customers because they receive limited testing focused on the original problem that was reported. As a result, there are clear benefits for you to take advantage of a Fix Pack as a means to maintain your solution.

What Do I Need To Know Before Installing a Fix Pack?
Administrators need to take into account several things when deciding to install a Fix Pack:
Review the Fix List for each Fix Pack (see below).
Fix packs within a release are always cumulative; for example, 8.4.0 FP2 includes all the fixes from 8.4.0 FP1. Fix Packs are language independent.
Due to timing, you may have received an interim fix that was not included in the latest Fix Pack before it entered regression testing. Please verify that all of the interim fixes that you are dependent on are included in a Fix Pack before installing it.
