How to Deploy BusinessObjects Enterprise Integration

Setting up CA DataMinder to integrate with BusinessObjects Enterprise involves the following steps. These steps are described in detail in the following sections.

  1. Consider the deployment and sizing guidelines

    This guide contains useful guidelines to help size your BusinessObjects Enterprise server and CA DataMinder data warehouse. Read these guidelines before you start the deployment.

  2. Install CA Business Intelligence

    The first deployment step depends on whether BusinessObjects Enterprise is already installed on your network.

  3. Install the CA DataMinder data warehouse

    For the current CA DataMinder release, the Data Warehouse tables are installed in the CMS database.

  4. Install BOE Integration for the iConsole

    Install this component on all of your iConsole front-end web servers.

    When you install this component, you must also supply a shared secret.

  5. Install the BusinessObjects Universe for CA DataMinder

    The Universe enables your users to design complex CA DataMinder reports without understanding the technical complexities of the CA DataMinder database.

    Run InstallUniverse.bat to install the Universe. Find this file in the \BusinessObjects folder of your CA DataMinder distribution image.

  6. Map CA DataMinder Reviewers to BusinessObject Accounts

    Trusted authentication between CA DataMinder and BusinessObjects Enterprise only works if each iConsole reviewer has their own, unique BusinessObjects user account. Therefore, after installing CA Business Intelligence, you must create a unique BusinessObjects account for each of your iConsole reviewers.

  7. Set up trusted authentication between the iConsole and BusinessObjects Enterprise

    In step 5, you supplied the iConsole with a shared secret (that is, an authentication password). In step 6, you created unique BusinessObjects accounts for your iConsole reviewers. To complete the setup for trusted authentication, configure the BusinessObjects server to use the same shared secret.

  8. (Optional) Perform any required post-installation configuration tasks

    You may need to set up BusinessObjects Enterprise auditing or make configuration changes to your Tomcat web application server.
