Differences Between User and System Installations

When you perform a new installation, on UNIX, you can choose between a user and a system installation.

• When you choose a user installation, all of the required components are installed.
• When you choose a system installation, all of the required components are installed, In addition, the installation creates a system-level initiation script that must be run manually by the user.

  This script creates entries into the run control scripts for the operating system that start up the BusinessObjects Enterprise servers when the UNIX server is brought up and stops the BusinessObjects Enterprise servers when a computer is shut down.

Note: To perform a system installation, you do not require root-level authority. However, to run the system-level initiation, script root-level authority is required.
