Before You Install

Consider the following before installing the Report Server:

You install the Report Server using the installation media on the Technical Support site.
Note: For a list of installation media names based on operating system, see the installation and upgrade considerations in the Policy Server Release Notes.
The Report Server is compiled as 32–bit native binary and is designed to use 32–bit data source middleware connectivity. If you are installing to a Windows 64–bit operating system, be sure to create the DSN using odbcad32.exe. This executable is located at the following location:
install_home\Windows\SysWOW64.

install_home

Specifies the installation path of the Windows operating system.
The Report Server installation includes the following components that run as processes:
- The Content Management Server
- The Server Intelligence Agent
These components require TCP/IP ports to communicate. The installer lets you modify the default settings to prevent port conflicts on the Report Server host system.
Important! The installation zip contains multiple folders. The Report Server installer requires this folder structure. If you moved the Reports Server installer after extracting the zip, copy the entire folder structure to the same location. Be sure that you execute the installation media from the folder structure.
