CA Business Intelligence r3.2 - (SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Service Pack 3) Supported Configurations

The following Business Objects configurations are supported for CA Clarity PPM. Additional information such as minimum CA Business Intelligence (CABI) r3.2 hardware requirements can be found in the CABI documentation. For information about virtualization support, refer the following SAP document: Business Objects Support Statement – VMWare ESX Server.

The application servers listed in the following table indicate the minimum releases tested for CABI r3.2 in integration with CA Clarity PPM. Subsequent releases (indicated by the last number in the name) are supported, but not necessarily tested in integration with CA Clarity PPM. The same applies to the application server JDKs.

Note: If there are network editions of any application servers listed in the following table, those network editions are not supported. Unless otherwise specified, only 32-bit versions of the application servers (with their underlying JDK) can be used.

Running CABI r3.2 has not been tested on a CA Clarity PPM system using a UNIX or Linux operating system and configured with SQL Server. In such cases, CA recommends running CABI r3.2 on a separate Windows server.
