Introduction

CA Business Intelligence is a set of reporting and analytic software that is utilized by a variety of CA Technologies products for the purposes of presenting information and supporting business decisions. CA Technologies products use CA Business Intelligence to integrate, analyze, and then present, through a variety of reporting options, vital information required for effective enterprise IT management.

Included in CA Business Intelligence Release 03.2.00 is SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3, a complete suite of information management, reporting, and query and analysis tools.

Note: CA Business Intelligence Release 03.2.00 is the official version of CA Business Intelligence, packaged with SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3. If there is no existing installation of CA Business Intelligence, BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3 is installed. If CA Business Intelligence Release 3.1 is already installed, only the SP3 patch is installed. For more information on what is new with SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1 SP3, see the guide What's New in SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 Service Pack 3.

CA Business Intelligence installs SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI as a stand-alone component. The installation runs independently of any CA Technologies products, allowing a variety of CA Technologies products to share the same Business Intelligence services. The installation of CA Business Intelligence is a distinct and separate activity within the overall CA Technologies product installation process.
