Configure Initial CA Business Intelligence Settings

This step loads the CA SDM universe and reports, creates groups, and optionally creates one user for each group and establishes group authorizations.

Follow these steps:

1. Insert the installation media DVD 2 into your drive on the CA Business Intelligence server. If the Installation Menu does not automatically appear, start the installation by double-clicking the setup.exe file, located at the root of the installation media.

   Note: If your computer does not have an appropriate drive for the installation media, copy the media content to the computer on which you want to install CA Business Intelligence. Then, start the configuration. For a remote configuration over the network, you can share a drive or folder on the network and then connect over the network to start the configuration.

2. Select your language from the list, click Select Language.
