Select a Web Application Server Configuration Option

The web application server runs BusinessObjects Enterprise web applications such as InfoView, the CMC, and custom web applications. Use the Select Web Application Server screen to choose to:

• Install and/or deploy to a Java web application server, such as the Tomcat web application server included with BusinessObjects Enterprise.
• Install and deploy to the IIS web application server installed as part of your Windows operating system.

  Note:

  If you are using the 64-bit version of IIS 7, you must ensure that:

  • ASP.NET is enabled.
  • The advanced IIS setting Enable 32-bit Applications is set to True.
  • The advanced IIS setting .NET Application Pool is set to Classic mode.
  • If the IIS Web Application Server option is not selectable, ASP.NET v1.1 and the IIS (Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, Windows Components, Application Server) must be installed.

To configure a Java web application server for BusinessObjects Enterprise you need the web application server administrator account name and password, as well as the listener port number.

To configure a Java web application server

1. To use a Java web application server, select Java Web Application Server and choose one of the following options:
   • Install Tomcat application server and deploy to it. This automatically installs and configures Tomcat.
   • Automatically deploy to a preinstalled Web Application Server.

   This prompts you to enter the configuration and authentication information on the next screen.

2. To use the IIS web application server included as part of your Windows operating system, choose IIS Web Application Server, then select the website to use for deployment from the drop-down list.
3. Click Next.

Depending on your selection, you can now proceed to either configure your web application server, or start the installation process.
