How to Configure CA Business Intelligence

After you install CA Business Intelligence, you configure CA Business Intelligence so it works correctly with CA Service Desk Manager.

1. Configure initial CA Business Intelligence settings. This step loads the CA Service Desk Manager universe and reports, creates groups, and optionally creates one user for each group and establishes group authorizations.
2. Add your CA Service Desk Manager users and groups to the BusinessObjects Central Management Console (CMC). This step lets you control end user access to InfoView and other BusinessObjects applications.

   Note: For more information about adding users and groups and configuring data partitions security, see the Administration Guide.

3. Add the default CA Service Desk Manager Privileged User Account to the CMC.
4. Modify default security and Web Intelligence settings in CMC.
5. Integrate CA Business Intelligence with CA Service Desk Manager. This step lets you specify Web Reporting options in Options Manager.
6. Configure Trusted Authentication for BusinessObjects and CA Service Desk Manager. The authentication process allows users to log in without providing passwords more than once during a session.
7. (Optional) Configure BusinessObjects LDAP Authentication.
8. (Optional) Connect the CA Business Intelligence server to a different CA Service Desk Manager server.
9. (Optional) Change the maximum size for a list of values.
10. (Optional) Change the report record limits.
11. (Recommended) Change the Web Intelligence time-out value.
