Solaris Required Patch Clusters

Red Hat Required Patch Clusters

The Report Server requires specific Red Hat patch clusters. Update the Red Hat system before installing the Report Server.

Important! If you do not install the required patches, the Report Server installation fails.

Note: For more information about the Red Hat patch clusters, see the Policy Server Release Notes.

Report Database Requirements

The Report Server requires a report database to run reports. The Report Server installer can install an embedded version of Sun Microsystems MySQL^™ (MySQL) to function as the report database.

If you do not install the embedded version of MySQL, a supported version of the following can be used:

• Microsoft^® SQL Server^® (SQL Server)
• Oracle^®

Important! The Report Server is a CA common component that CA products can share. As such, the installer lets you configure the report database to database types and versions that other products support, but CA SiteMinder® does not. For a list of supported database types and versions, see the CA SiteMinder® 12.51 Platform Support Matrix.

Connectivity Requirements

The Report Server requires a driver to communicate with the following:

• A SQL Server or Oracle report database

  Note: If you use the embedded version of MySQL, there are no report database connectivity requirements.

• A CA SiteMinder® audit store

Be sure that a supported Microsoft SQL Server driver or Oracle Net client is installed on the Report Server host system.

Note: For a list of supported CA and third-party components, refer to the CA SiteMinder® 12.51 Platform Support Matrix on the Technical Support site.
