Install CA Business Intelligence

For the current CA Data Protection release, your reports server must be running BusinessObjects XI 3.1 SP5. When you install CA Business Intelligence 3.3 on your reports server, BusinessObjects XI 3.1 SP5 and its InfoView web portal also get installed.

The following sections describe how to install a new SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise System. If you want a Custom Or Expand install or a Web Tier install, please refer to chapters 5 and 6 in the CA Business Intelligence Implementation Guide. Find this guide in the \Docs folder of your CA Business Intelligence distribution image.
