Sybase Database Requirements

If you are using Sybase for the CMS or auditing database:

• Create a database with a page size of 8 KB. The Sybase database default page size is 2KB, which is too small for the CMS system database to run efficiently. The page size is set up during the database creation and cannot be changed after the database is created.
• Use a Unicode character set, such as UTF-8.

Once the database is created, you must prepare it for the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation.
