System Requirements

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.

Important! Your CA Technologies product supported platforms take precedence over the platforms that BusinessObjects Enterprise supports. Certain platforms that BusinessObjects Enterprise supports may not be supported by CA Technologies. Conversely, certain platforms that CA Technologies supports may not be supported by BusinessObjects Enterprise. Review your CA Technologies product-specific requirements before beginning the CA Business Intelligence installation.

Ensure that you read the CA Business Intelligence Release Notes before installation. The Release Notes contain known issues for the supported platforms that are not included in the Supported Platforms documents from BusinessObjects Enterprise, and other CA Business Intelligence known issues.

BusinessObjects Enterprise ships with the Tomcat web application server and SQL Anywhere database server. If you are planning to use a different web application or database server, install the server and configure the server before you install BusinessObjects Enterprise.
