CA Business Intelligence-Specific Parameters

The CA Business Intelligence installer for the BusinessObjects Enterprise installation uses the tags under the [BIEK] section of the response file for its preinstallation phase.

These values are read before control is transferred to the BusinessObjects Enterprise installer:

BIEK_INSTALL_USER

Specifies the non-root user used to install BusinessObjects Enterprise.

BIEK_INSTALL_GROUP

Specifies the group of the user (BIEK_INSTALL_USER) who installs BusinessObjects Enterprise.

BIEK_CASHCOMP

The full path of the CA Shared Components Directory (CASHCOMP), if CASHCOMP has not been set. If CASHCOMP has already been set, this value is ignored. This tag is allowed only on UNIX platforms.

BIEK_INSTALL_SAMPLES

This value can be set to either 0 or 1:

0 = Do not install sample templates
1 = Install sample templates

BIEK_MIGRATE_CMS_DATA

This tag is used only for upgrades. This value can be set to either 0 or 1:

0 = Do not migrate data
1 = Migrate data from the previous (already installed) version to the upgraded version (for example, CA Business Intelligence 2.x to CA Business Intelligence 3.x). If this tag is set to 1 you must provide the source CMS password in the BIEK_SOURCE_CMS_PASSWORD tag.

This tag is allowed only on UNIX platforms.

BIEK_SOURCE_CMS_PASSWORD

This tag is used only for upgrades. The user must specify the password of the source CMS from which data has to be migrated. The CA Business Intelligence installer uses this password to log in to the source CMS and begin the data-migration process.

This value must be specified only after the BIEK_MIGRATE_CMS_DATA has been set to 1. If BIEK_MIGRATE_CMS_DATA is set to 0, this tag is ignored.

This tag is allowed only on UNIX platforms.
