Reporting Considerations
Before you install CA Business Intelligence, consider the following information to help ensure a successful implementation.
- An installation of CA Business Intelligence r3.0 (BusinessObjects Enterprise Release 3) is required to view the r12.5 reports included in this release.
- CA Business Intelligence r2.1 (BusinessObjects Enterprise Release 2) is not supported.
- You can install CA Business Intelligence r3.0 during the upgrade process from r12.1 to r12.5.
- The installation differs based on the installation type that you select (custom opposed to new).
- The credentials for the BusinessObjects Administrator Account must be defined before running the installer for both new and custom installations.
- The Configuration Management Server (CMS) must be installed on port 6400 (default); otherwise the CA Business Intelligence configuration fails during setup.
- CA Service Desk Manager users must be added to the Administrator's list in CMS before using the reports.
- Some additional configuration steps must be completed if you want to install Apache Tomcat 5.5.25 for use as the application server for Business Objects.
- SAP Business Objects users with an existing installation of Business Objects can install and configure CA Business Intelligence (recommended) or they can use their existing Business Objects installation.
- If you plan to access InfoView with Firefox, the supported version of Firefox must be used.
- It may be necessary to modify the version of the JRE provided with Business Objects to a version that better fits your specific environment.
- Crystal Reports Explorer and Desktop Intelligence are not supported even though they can be invoked after the CA Business Intelligence installation.
