Central Management Server Database Requirements and Preparation

BusinessObjects Enterprise requires a database to store CMS information about the system and its users. This database is referred to as the CMS, or system, database.

The following sections detail required settings and how to test settings for the following databases:

• DB2
• SQL Anywhere
• MySQL
• Microsoft SQL Server (Windows only)
• Oracle
• Sybase

Before you install BusinessObjects Enterprise, review this information to prepare your CMS system and auditing database.

Note: Regardless of the database type, set up the database to use Unicode character encoding, such as UTF-8.
