Install the BusinessObjects Universe

You install the BusinessObjects Universe for CA DataMinder by running a batch file, InstallUniverse.bat. This batch file installs the universe on your BusinessObjects Enterprise server.

To install the Universe and standard BusinessObjects reports for CA DataMinder

1. Locate the \BusinessObjects folder on your CA DataMinder distribution media.
2. Copy this folder and its contents to a computer on your network.

   Note: We strongly recommend that you copy the \BusinessObjects folder to your BusinessObjects Enterprise server. Doing so avoids potential firewall problems when installing the universe.

3. Open the \BusinessObjects folder on the target computer that you specified in step 2.

   This folder contains InstallUniverse.bat.

   To set the JAVA_HOME environment variable before installing the universe, go to step 4.

   To install the universe directly, go to step 5.

4. (Applicable only if the JAVA_HOME environment variable does not exist or is set incorrectly).
   1. Open a command prompt (DOS box) and change to the \BusinessObjects folder
   2. Run the following command:

      SET JAVA_HOME=<PathToJRE> 
      

      Where <PathToJRE> identifies the local JRE folder. See the previous section for details.

   3. Run the following command:

      InstallUniverse.bat
      

   Important! Do not close the DOS box between steps b. and c! You must run both commands in the same DOS session to ensure that JAVA_HOME is correctly in scope. See the previous section for details.

5. (Applicable only if the JAVA_HOME environment variable already exists and is correctly specified).

   Run InstallUniverse.bat directly.

6. Enter the following BusinessObject details:

   BusinessObjects (BOXI) server

   Enter the name of the BusinessObjects Enterprise host server.
