An installation checklist is provided to help ensure you are prepared before you begin your installation of BusinessObjects Enterprise. This document includes specific version and patch-level requirements for web application servers, web browsers, and operating systems. If you are planning to use a different web application or database server, it must be installed and configured before BusinessObjects Enterprise. NET , allowing your organization to use and develop custom web applications for its preferred web application server and operating system platforms.
Java Server Pages allow you to develop cross-platform J2EE applications that use BusinessObjects Enterprise objects in conjunction with your own custom objects, or use objects available from a wide variety third parties.
It also includes a set of. Choosing a web application server With Windows-based BusinessObjects Enterprise deployments, you can use a Java web application server, a.
NET web application server, or both. NET extensions, so you can utilize both technologies on the same server. A dedicated web server must be able to communicate with the web application server. All web desktop clients must be able to access the web server. User permissions for installing BusinessObjects Enterprise To install BusinessObjects Enterprise on Windows, the user running the setup program must have the permissions listed in the table below: Installation Guide for Windows 19 2Preparing to Install BusinessObjects Enterprise Installation overview Required permissionsCategory Administrative privileges on the local machine.
Operating System Network connectivity to all machines in the deployment, as well access to as the appropriate ports on each of the ma- chines. Network Rights to create and drop tables, plus rights to read, write, and edit rows. Database Use the same user account for installing both BusinessOb- jects Enterprise and your web application server, to reduce the likelihood of encountering a problem with access control settings.
Installing on a non-system drive You can use the setup program to install BusinessObjects Enterprise on any local drive. When installing to the a directory on the same partition as the operating system, ensure that there is enough room for both the operating system and BusinessObjects Enterprise to expand as updates and new features are added. If you previously installed another Business Objects product of the same version, the BusinessObjects Enterprise setup program automatically uses that installation's common directory to add new Business Objects products.
To install several Business Objects products on a non-system drive, you must first install BusinessObjects Enterprise. All Business Objects products subsequently installed will use the same drive for shared files. The CMS is responsible for maintaining a database of information about your BusinessObjects Enterprise system, which other components can access as required.
The data stored by the CMS includes information about users and groups, security levels, BusinessObjects Enterprise content, and servers. If the primary NIC is not routable, you may have to configure your servers after installation. Administrative privileges are required to set a fixed hostname. You can use fully qualified domain names to specify the location of the CMS. Consult your database documentation to determine the settings required for a Unicode configuration. If you plan to use a Java application server and your existing application server does not include a version of the Java Development Kit JDK supported by BusinessObjects Enterprise, you will need to install it.
To optimize data retrieval and minimize network traffic, place your processing servers close to your database servers ideally, on the same subnet. If your BusinessObjects Enterprise installation is distributed over a wide geographic region, use server groups to create groups of nearby servers to process reports. The CMS can also maintain a separate audit database of information about user actions. The CMS can be clustered. If you are deploying more than one CMS, ensure each machine that runs a CMS process experiences the same latency to the system database.
Installation types When you install BusinessObjects Enterprise, you can choose one of the following installation types. Consider which of these types is your best suited for your intended deployment: 22 Installation Guide for Windows Preparing to Install BusinessObjects Enterprise 2 Installation types Select this installation type to quickly set up a complete deployment, with all server and client components on a single machine.
Select this installation type to specify which components to install when performing a distributed deployment, or when adding servers to an existing deployment. Select this installation type to set up Java or. NET web application components when performing a distributed deployment. This configuration can be useful for small, trial, or tested installations. Components can be disabled after the installation if they are not required.
It is recommended that you run this type of installation only after you are familiar with specific BusinessObjects Enterprise components and their roles, otherwise you may inadvertently fail to install a required component.
You should perform a "Custom or Expand" installation if you plan to use BusinessObjects Enterprise in a distributed environment. For example, in a distributed deployment you can install the BusinessObjects Enterprise Desktop Intelligence server components on one machine, and use another machine to host Crystal Reports server components. After setting up one BusinessObjects Enterprise server, you can run a "Custom or Expand" installation on a second machine to add server components, create a CMS cluster, increase available resources, and distribute the processing workload over both machines.
BI Platform. If you do not have an existing web appli- cation server, you can choose to install Apache Tomcat 5. The installation set up program provides a number of screens that allow to select an installation type, specify the details for your CMS database, and to deploy web applications to a supported application server.
A silent or scripted installation uses configuration information that has been stored in a. This method is useful when you need to perform multiple installations, or you want to install without the setup program prompting for configuration information. Silent installation A silent installation uses configuration information that has been stored in a.
You can also incorporate the silent installation command into your own build scripts. For example, if your organization uses scripts to install software on machines, you can add the silent BusinessObjects Enterprise installation command to those scripts.
Installing client tools only You can install the Business Objects client tools by using the BusinessObjects Enterprise Client Tools installation package. DescriptionClient tool An integrated query, reporting, and analysis tool to access your organization's data for presenta- tion and analysis in a Desktop Intelligence document. Desktop Intelligence Provides business users an interactive and flexible interface for building and analyzing re- ports from your organization's data over the web, through a secured intra- or extranet.
Report Conversion Tool Imports user, group, object, or folder content from previous and current Crystal or Busines- sObjects Enterprise deployments. Developer Components Defines translations for multilingual documents and prompts. Supports Universe Designer uni- verses and Web Intelligence documents. Translation Manager Install these applications for users responsible for managing BusinessObjects Enterprise content, developing applications, or importing system data.
However, Desktop Intelligence does require that a license key be entered in the CMC after the installation. This database is referred to as the CMS, or system, database. Note: Regardless of database type, the database must be setup to use Unicode character encoding, such as UTF If you want to use an existing supported database server, you can enter connection and authentication parameters during the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation process.
If you plan to use your own database, you should complete the steps listed below before installing BusinessObjects Enterprise. To create tables and write data to your new CMS database, the installation program needs to establish a connection to the database server. When you log on to the account being used to install BusinessObjects Enterprise, the environment must include the appropriate variables and database drivers to access your chosen database.
Only then can the installation program access the CMS database using your database client software. Create or select a user account that provides BusinessObjects Enterprise with the appropriate privileges to your database server.
Verify that you can log on to your database and that you have rights to add or remove database tables and to add, delete, or edit table rows with the user account. Setting up an empty database for the CMS If you want to use an existing database server as the Central Management Server CMS or auditing database, you must create a new tablespace or database before installing BusinessObjects Enterprise.
The installer will prompt for the connection and authentication details if you choose to use your own database during the installation of BusinessObjects Enterprise.
To integrate your existing database with BusinessObjects Enterprise, you need to prepare it. Create a second for the auditing database, if you plan to enable auditing. Create a second username and password if you plan to enable auditing. During the installation, you can choose to reinitialize the existing database. This will cause new tables to be created in your existing database. Consult your specific database server documentation if you are unsure of the procedure for creating a new tablespace, schema, or database.
Ensure that your database server is set up to use Unicode character encoding such as UTF Note: If you have a previous release of BusinessObjects Enterprise you cannot use your database from a previous release for BusinessObjects Enterprise.
You must create a new database, or existing data from the previous release will be destroyed. To migrate from an previous release, create a new database migrate your old content to the new current version's database after the installation is complete.
Once the database is created, you will need to prepare it for the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation. Note: The auditing database can be partitioned. Replace XX with the code that is appropriate for your location. Consult your DB2 documentation for more information. Note : The steps and changes that are covered in this blog is just a reference to install the product smoothly without having any issues from the OS perspective. If Windows admin has done hard coded changes to the policies and on the operating level then may be more changes are required to avoid any issues.
