UNIX GUI Custom Installation

To install the Report Server using a UNIX GUI

1. Be sure that you have reviewed the installation checklists.
2. Be sure that you have gathered the required information for the installer.
3. Be sure that you are using a root–user account.
4. Exit all applications that are running.
5. Open a Bourne shell and navigate to the CABI folder.
6. Enter the following command:

   ./installation_media gui
   

   • installation_media

     Specifies the Report Server installation executable.

   The installer starts and prompts you for a locale.

   Note: For a list of installation media names based on operating system, see the installation and upgrade considerations in the Policy Server Release Notes.

   The installer introduction appears.

   The license agreement appears.

9. Accept the license agreement and click Next.

   The installer prompts you for an installation type.

10. Click Custom and then click Next.

    The installer prompts you for non–root user credentials.

11. Use your completed installation credentials worksheet to enter the required values and click Next.

    The installer prompts you to specify the common reporting installation path.

12. Type a value and click Next.

    Note: By default, the shared components directory and the common reporting directory values are the same. These values do not have to be the same.

    The installer prompts you for a BusinessObjects Administrator password.

15. Do the following:
    1. Select Use Existing DBMS.
    2. Select a supported database type.
    3. Click Next.

    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 SiteMinder does not. For a list of supported database types and versions, see the SiteMinder r12.0 SP2 Platform Support Matrix.

    The installer prompts you for database–specific values.

    The installer prompts you to enable auditing.

17. Select No and click Next.

    Note: The Report Server audit database is used to audit activities specific to the Report Server and is not used for SiteMinder audit–based reports. A SiteMinder audit database is required to run audit–based reports.

    The installer prompts you for a web server configuration.

18. Select Yes and click Next.

    Note: This installs an embedded version of Tomcat. SiteMinder only supports this web server type and version.

    The installer prompts for web server configuration settings.

19. Use your completed Apache Tomcat worksheet to enter the required values and click Next.

    The installer prompts you to configure sample databases and templates.
