Web Applications Installation

The web tier installation type installs the appropriate web tier components on the computer running your web application server. You require user account and port information to configure your web application server through the BusinessObjects Enterprise setup program.

The web application server processes scripts, communicates with report and cache servers, translates cached files to DHTML, facilitates OLAP view requests, and manages session state information for users.

A distributed installation has two stages. The first step is completed on the computer where the BusinessObjects Enterprise components will reside. The second step is to install the Web Tier Components on the computer where the web server is installed.
