The following table lists the recommended order that BusinessObjects Enterprise system components should be installed. The actual order can vary depending on whether your system included preexisting systems that are to be incorporated into the new BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment.
To use your own database server to store BusinessObjects Enterprise data, rather than the version of MySQL installed by the installer, at least one database server must be available for the CMS to use. A second database can be used to enable auditing, or BusinessObjects Enterprise can use the same database for both the CMS and auditing. In addition, BusinessObjects Enterprise requires a connection to your organization's own database, to act as source material against which to run reports.
To protect your database behind a firewall, install the firewall after the databases are configured and verified to be working. Ensure that access through the firewall is working in both directions.
Install the appropriate database drivers on your BusinessObjects Enterprise server systems and ensure that the database servers can be accessed through the firewall.
b. BusinessObjects Enterprise server or cluster
Install your BusinessObjects Enterprise server or cluster using the BusinessObjects Enterprise installer. You must enter connection information for all databases during the install.
To protect your BusinessObjects Enterprise server or cluster behind a firewall, install the firewall after the servers are configured and verified to be working. Ensure that access through the firewall is working in both directions.
To use your own web application server instead of the version of Tomcat installed by the installer, install the web application server or cluster and verify network connectivity between it and the BusinessObjects Enterprise server.
b. Web application files
When your web application server is verified to be working, deploy the BusinessObjects Enterprise web application files.
To protect your web application server or cluster behind a firewall, install the firewall after the servers are configured and verified to be working. Ensure that access through the firewall is working in both directions.
To use split web and web application servers so that server static content can be off-loaded from the web application servers, configure your web server or cluster and ensure connectivity to the web application server. When using a load balancer, configure the load balancer after the web servers or cluster are verified to be working.
To protect your web server behind a firewall, install the firewall after the servers are configured and verified to be working. Ensure that access through the firewall is working in both directions.
When using a reverse proxy server, configure the reverse proxy to once access through the web or web application server firewall has been verified.
To protect your entire deployment behind a firewall, install the firewall after the entire system is configured and verified to be working. Ensure that access through the firewall is working in both directions.
