IPv6 Network Compatibility Restrictions

CA Clarity PPM is certified to operate in an IPv6 networking environment with restrictions. Other configurations of CA Clarity PPM using IPv6 are likely to work but have not been certified. For mixed IPv6/IPv4 environments, it is assumed that the server instance uses two network interface cards, one configured for IPv6 and the other for IPv4.

CA Business Intelligence Release 3.3 - (SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 Service Pack 5) Supported Configurations

The following Business Objects configurations are supported for CA Clarity PPM. Additional information such as the minimum CA Business Intelligence (CABI) Release 3.3 hardware requirements can be found in the CA Business Intelligence documentation. For information about virtualization support, refer to 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 CA Business Intelligence Release 3.3 (BOXI Release 3.1 Service Pack 5) 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 CA Business Intelligence Release 3.3 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 Technologies recommends running CA Business Intelligence Release 3.3 on a separate Windows server.
