Network Requirements

When installing BusinessObjects Enterprise on multiple computers, ensure that each computer can communicate over TCP/IP with the computer running the CMS, and all other computers in the deployment. A dedicated web server must be able to communicate with the web application server. All web desktop clients must be able to access the web server. For more information about the communication between components, see BusinessObjects Enterprise Architecture.

Notes:

• If you are installing BusinessObjects Enterprise in a firewalled environment, see Firewalls.
• If you are installing on a VMware virtual machine, ensure the computer name does not include underscore (_), period (.), or slash (/ or \) characters.
