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's list of supported platforms take precedence those platforms supported by BusinessObjects Enterprise. Certain platforms that are supported by BusinessObjects Enterprise might not be supported by CA Technologies and vice versa; be sure to review your CA Technologies product's 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 any known issues for the supported platforms that are not included in the Supported Platforms documents provided by Business Objects, as well as any other CA Business Intelligence-related known issues.

BusinessObjects Enterprise ships with the Tomcat web application server and MySQL database server. If you are planning to use a different web application or database server, it must be installed and configured before BusinessObjects Enterprise is installed.
