Problem installing Cognos Transformer for Connections on Windows



For a mistake the first time I ran and installed the cognos-setup.bat script inside CognosConfig package for connections 4.5, I installed both Transformer and BI Server on the same folder, E:\IBM\Cognos64.
I fixed the error into cognos-setup.properties ( Transformer into E:\IBM\Cognos and BI Server in E:\IBM\Cognos64)So I removed everything with uninstaller on E:\IBM\Cognos64\uninstall. Only the BI package was available for removal.




 If I try to run again the cognos-setup.bat script, the tiny Cognos Stream Installer in the upper left corner  was every time getting this exception

you cannot install this version of the product over a previously installed version

After checking and doublechecking (regedit show no presence of any transformer reference, and I also tried installing and removing Transformer with standalone installer on the wrong directory, to be sure everything is correctly removed from user registry or whatever).

At the end, I had an idea: the response file for perfoming installation was still held into the AppData/local/temp folder. I uninstalled everything with Cognos uninstaller, removed physically the folders where I was installing, and purged everyhing in here

C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\local\Temp

(If you can't see this folder with explorer, just type it in the path)

Now run again cognos-setup.bat and everything will install correctly

The "Code-Rich" Organization: How Automatic Code Generation Will Revolutionize Everything

  I put on paper a couple of thoughts about AI and Large Language Models (LLM) for automatic code generation in the development process. My thesis is that the current organizations are mostly “code-thin”, where only the basic Business Processes are modeled through software, while in the future we will have “code-rich" organizations boosted through the abundant and cheap AI and LLM Generated software code. These “code-rich” organizations, where every possible business process is software based - will outperform the usual "code-thin" organizations, where software is “hand-made” and expensive. Feedback would be very, very appreciated. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/code-rich-organization-how-automatic-code-generation-de-collibus

Multiple controllers with Spring Boot

Remember, when you want to have multiple controllers with Spring Boot, you should always name them differently in the annotation, otherwise they will not work So these two together will NOT work (or just one of them will work) These two instead WILL work.
