Use a Supported Database Server

The CMS supports a number of third-party database servers, so you can connect BusinessObjects Enterprise to your existing database infrastructure. If you do not have a database installed on your computer you can choose to install and configure MySQL as your CMS database through the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation setup program (MySQL is installed as the default CMS database by CA Business Intelligence).

See the various Supported Platforms documents on the CA Business Intelligence DVD for a detailed list of supported environments and hardware requirements. These documents include specific version and patch-level requirements for databases, web application servers, web browsers, and operating systems. However, remember that your CA Technologies product's supported platforms take precedence over BusinessObjects Enterprise supported platforms.
