About CA Business Intelligence

CA Business Intelligence is a set of reporting and analytic software that is utilized by a variety of CA Technologies products for the purposes of presenting information and supporting business decisions. CA Technologies products use CA Business Intelligence to integrate, analyze, and then present, through a variety of reporting options, vital information required for effective enterprise IT management.

CA Business Intelligence installs SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI as a stand-alone component. The installation runs independently of any CA Technologies products, allowing a variety of CA Technologies products to share the same Business Intelligence services. The installation of CA Business Intelligence is a distinct and separate activity within the overall CA Technologies product installation process.

Note: CA Business Intelligence 3.2 includes SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3, a suite of information management, reporting, and query and analysis tools. However, CA DataMinder integration with BusinessObjects Enterprise requires XI 3.1 SP4. Therefore, you must install the SP4 patch after you install CA Business Intelligence 3.2.
