Test MySQL Environment Variables (UNIX Only)

If you are using an existing MySQL database, ensure the MYSQL_HOME variable is set up for the user who will install BusinessObjects Enterprise. If this variable is not set up, and you have specified that you are using an existing MySQL database, the installation will not proceed and you will receive an error message. See the documentation for MySQL for information about how to configure the MySQL.
