Install BOE Integration for the iConsole

You install BOE Integration using the CA Data Protection iConsole installation wizard.

To install the BOE Integration feature

  1. Find setup.exe in the root of your CA Data Protection distribution image. Run setup.exe to launch the CA Data Protection installation wizard.

    The Installation Type screen opens.

  2. Click Advanced Installation.
  3. In the Advanced Install Options screen, select iConsole Web Server and then click Install.

    The CA Data Protection iConsole installation wizard launches in a separate window.

  4. In the iConsole installation wizard, navigate to the Custom Setup screen.
  5. In the Custom Setup screen, select the Front-End Web Server and BOE Integration features.
  6. Complete the Configuration and Virtual Directory wizard screens as normal.

    Note: These installation steps are described in the iConsole chapter of the Platform Deployment Guide.

  7. In the BOE Reporting Integration Settings screen, specify the following:
    Server

    Specify the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) or IP address of the server hosting BusinessObjects Enterprise.

    Port

    Specify the TCP port used by the iConsole to log on to BusinessObjects Enterprise.

    This setting defaults to port 6400. You do not typically need to change this port number. But if your BusinessObjects Enterprise installation uses a different port number, specify that number here.

    Web Service Port

    Specify the TCP port used by the iConsole to connect to the BusinessObjects Enterprise web service.

    The iConsole calls this web service to display the available BusinessObjects reports, retrieve report results, and access the InfoView web portal.

    This setting defaults to port 8080. Normally, you do not need to change this port number. But if the BusinessObjects Enterprise web service uses a different port number, specify that number here.

    Shared Secret

    Enter and confirm the password used to establish trusted authentication between the iConsole and BusinessObjects Enterprise.

    You must specify the same password when you configure BusinessObjects to use trusted authentication.
