Installation Options

This section lets you specify the installation type and the root folder for the installation. This section contains the following parameters:

• IS_CA_BOXI_INSTALLED

  Specifies if the Report Server is installed on the system.

  SiteMinder setting: false

• CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET

  Specifies the type of installation.

  • TYPICAL

    Installs the Report Server using an embedded version of MySQL and Apache Tomcat to function as a report database and web server, respectively.

  • CUSTOM

Although a custom installation lets you configure an existing instance of MySQL and additional application server types, SiteMinder only supports the embedded version of MySQL and Apache Tomcat. If you install using the custom installation option, be sure to configure only SQL Server or Oracle as a report database and only install the embedded version of Apache Tomcat.
