Install Client Tools Only on Windows

The client tools are applications that can only be installed on the component that is used by your CA Technologies product on Windows, with the Windows Client Tools installation package.

If you install the BusinessObjects Enterprise servers on a UNIX computer, you can connect remotely to BusinessObjects Enterprise with the client tools installed on a Windows computer.

The available tools are:

Desktop Intelligence

An integrated query, reporting, and analysis tool to access your organization's data for presentation and analysis in a Desktop Intelligence document.

Note: CA Technologies does not support Desktop Intelligence.

Web Intelligence Rich Client

Provides business users an interactive and flexible interface for building and analyzing reports from your organization's data over the web, through a secured intra- or extranet.

Import Wizard

Imports user, group, object, or folder content from previous and current Crystal or BusinessObjects Enterprise deployments.

Note: See your CA Technologies product documentation for details about how the CA Technologies product content can be delivered and used in your environment.

Universe Designer

Creates universe connections for Web Intelligence documents and Crystal Reports.

Developer Components

Software Development Kits (SDK) with wizards and templates for integrating BusinessObjects Enterprise functionality into your interactive web applications:

Translation Manager

Defines translations for multilingual documents and prompts. Supports Universe Designer universes.

Install these applications for users responsible for managing BusinessObjects Enterprise content, developing applications, or importing system data. Client tools are not needed by users who access InfoView or the CMC administrative web applications.
