BIEK--Perform a New Installation

Performing a new installation deploys all of the required and optional components onto one computer. A new installation:

Requires you to enter a password to use for the BusinessObjects Enterprise system administrator account.
Prompts for system database connection and authentication details. You can choose to install and configure a new MySQL database, or use an existing database.
Requires you to enter a name for the Server Intelligence Agent (SIA).
Prompts you to choose one of the following installation options:
- Use a Java web application server. You can choose to install and configure Tomcat, or use an existing Java web application server.
- Use the IIS web application server included with your Windows operating system.
- Use both Java and IIS web application servers.

The Install Type screen displays once you complete the initial set up of the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation.

To perform a new BusinessObjects Enterprise installation

Choose New in the Install Type screen.
Select one of the following options:
- Install MySQL Database Server if you do not have a system database server and want to install MySQL on the current computer.
- Use an existing database server if you want to use an existing database server.
Select the Enable servers upon installation check box if you want to launch BusinessObjects Enterprise when the installation process finishes. If you do not check this option, you must manually enable and run the BusinessObjects Enterprise application server from the CCM after installation.
Specify where to install the BusinessObjects Enterprise components in the Destination Folder field (make sure enough disk space is available).
The defaults are:
- C:\Program Files\CA\SC\CommonReporting3 (for 32-bit computers)
- C:\Program Files X(86)\CA\SC\CommonReporting3 (for x64 computers)
Click Next to continue with the installation.
