2准备和安装BOE

After completing this unit, you will be able to: • prepare the environment for installation • determine installation type • test the installation

一旦你设计好了体系计划为你的系统，下一步就是安装BOE，符合设计规格。 完成本单元，你将能够“ 1. 为安装准备环境 2. 定义安装类型 3. 测试安装

Before installing BusinessObjects Enterprise the following items should be considered in to prepare the environment for installation:

Review the Platforms.txt file

• The platforms.txt file describes the platforms supported by BusinessObjects. It details specific languages,

operating systems, hardware requirements, as well as server and service compatibility.

• You can find the platforms.txt file in the root directory of the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI installation

disk, as well as on the BusinessObjects support web site, http://support.businessobjects.com.

• Ensure that your platform and necessary components are supported.

Network configuration:

• Each BusinessObjects Enterprise server must be configured to communicate over TCP/IP to provide

connectivity to the CMS and other BusinessObjects Enterprise servers.

• Using the PING utility, verify connectivity to the CMS using the NetBIOS name of the CMS.

• Verify the web server has connectivity with the Web Application Server. To verify connectivity, use the

PING utility using the NetBIOS name of the Web Application Server. • All InfoView clients must be able to access the web server.

在安装BOE之前，下面几项需要考虑，准备安装环境： 1.浏览Platforms.txt

Platforms.txt描述了BO支持的平台。包括操作系统，语言，硬件要求，服务器和服务能力。 你可以在BOE安装安装目录下找到Platforms.txt，也可以在BO的WEB站点找到。 确信你的平台和需要的组件都是支持的。 2.网络配置

每个BOE服务器必须配置的可以与CMS互相通讯,及其他BOE服务器。 使用ping工具，使用CMS的NetBIOS名字检查与CMS的链接。 所有的Infoview客户端可以与WEB SERVERS访问。

Administrative privileges

• You must be logged on as a user with administrative privileges to the computer on which you are

installing BusinessObjects Enterprise. Administrative privileges usually include the ability to write to the Windows Registry, which is required for installation.

ODBC configuration

• If you are using SQL Server for your CMS database, correct ODBC configuration is required;

native connections to SQL Server are not supported.

• Verify the server is running version 3.x or newer of the Microsoft Data Access Components

(MDAC).

Microsoft Corporation provides a utility for testing your version of MDAC, called the Component Checker. Visit the Microsoft Corporation web site for more information. Before beginning installation, ensure you have the password for the SQL Server sa account or a user name and password for an administrative level database account. Virtual memory

• For best performance, Microsoft Corporation recommends that you do not set the initial size to less

than the minimum recommended size under Total paging file size for all drives. The recommended size is equivalent to 1.5 times the amount of RAM on your system. It is best to leave the paging file at its recommended size, although you could increase its size if you routinely use programs that require a lot of memory.

Background services priority

• Your Windows server should have Performance Options configured to give Background services

priority on your system.

管理权限

你必须以系统管理员的身份登陆操作系统，因为要用到写WINdows注册表的功能。 ODBC配置

如果你使用SQL Server作为CMS数据库，需要正确配置ODBC，自然链接SQLserver不支持。 检查服务器运行了3.X or Newer of the Microsoft Data Access Components（MDAC)

微软公司提供了测试MDAC版本的工具，叫组件检查器。更多信息访问微软站点。开始安装之前，确信你拥有访问SQLserver 帐户或其他管理员级别的用户名和口令。 虚拟内存：

为获得更好的效率，微软公司建议你不要设置初始数量小于所有驱动页面大小最小推荐大小，推荐大小相当于你系统内存的1.5倍。

最好保留页面文件到推荐大小，尽管你可以增加大小，如果你的常规程序需要更大的内存。 注意：虚拟内存的设置一般参考SWAP 文件设置。 后台服务优先级

你的windows服务器应该拥有绩效选择配置，以在你的系统上给后台服务优先权。

Web Server\\Web Application Server

• Ensure there is connectivity between the InfoView clients and the web server. The web server

forwards the enterprise request to the Web Application Server. Refer to platforms.txt for a list of supported web servers.

• For a Java or .NET environment, install the appropriate SDK and Web Component Adapter on the

Web Application Server.

Web browser

• These should be installed and configured on all desktop clients’ machines.

Database

• BusinessObjects Enterprise requires a system database to store information about the server

components and objects specific to your BusinessObjects Enterprise deployment.

The Setup program can install its own MySQL database by default.

TEMP directory environment variables

• The TEMP directory should reside on the drive with the most available space to allow for the

BusinessObjects Enterprise installation to store temporary files. A minimum of 700 MB of free space is recommended. The location of the TEMP directory is configured using Windows Environment Variables. By default, the TEMP directory for Windows 2000 is located on C:\\Windows\\TEMP.

Printer driver

• The Print Engine (CRPE) requires a printer driver be installed to provide support for background

formatting. Ensure a printer is installed on your BusinessObjects Enterprise server.

If you are distributing your installation across multiple computers, ensure that a printer driver is installed on the Crystal Reports Job Server, Report Application Server, and Crystal Reports Page Server machines.

web server\\WAS

确信两辆inforview客户端之间和WEB SERVER连接畅通.WEB SERVER一般直接把企业需求丢给WAS.参考platfors.TXT，有罗列支持的WEB SERVER.

对于java和.net 环境，在WAS上安装何时的SDK和WCA. WEB BROWSER

需要配置在所有的客户端桌面。 数据库

BOE需要一个系统数据库存储发布的BOE服务组件、对象属性信息。 安装程序会默认安装一个数据库MYSQL. TEMP目录环境变量

临时目录用于安装BOE时候的临时存储，放在磁盘里面，需要合适的空间。推荐最小需要700M自由空间。临时文件需要使用WINDOWS环境变量配置，默认情况下：C:\\WINDOWS\\TEMP 打印驱动

打印工程（CRPE）需要安装打印机，提供一个后台格式支持。确信打印机安装在你的BOEserver上。如果你要分散在多个交叉机器上安装，确信打印驱动安装在Crystal Job Server，Report Application Server 和Crystal Reports Server机器上。

Before you begin installing BusinessObjects Enterprise, determine what type of installation will suit your needs. You can select between the following installation types: • New

Perform a new installation when you want all BusinessObjects Enterprise components to be installed on a single machine that is already running web services. • Expanded

Once BusinessObjects Enterprise is up and running, an expanded installation allows you to add server components, such as CMS, to other servers in your environment to distribute processing workload.

Systems can be scaled to handle increased usage or to add fault tolerance. Adding servers is called scaling horizontally, while adding processors to a machine is called scaling vertically. In a horizontally-scaled system, BusinessObjects Enterprise components are installed on multiple machines. In a verticallyscaled system, multiple BusinessObjects Enterprise server components can run on the same machine. Note that a single server, vertically- scaled system improves BusinessObjects Enterprise’s ability to handle increased usage, but does not increase the fault tolerance of the system.

Custom

Performing a custom installation allows you to select exactly which components will be installed. • Silent installation

For experienced administrators, the silent installation allows you to install from the command line. It is recommended that you run this installation when you need to install quickly on multiple machines. You can also incorporate the silent installation command into your own build scripts.

For detailed information and procedures for each installation type, consult the BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Installation Guide

安装类型

在你开始安装BOE之前，确定适合你的安装类型，你可以选择：

新安装：执行一个全新安装当你希望BOE组件安装在一个已经运行WEB SERVICE的单独的机器上。

扩展安装：一旦BOE安装并运行，系统允许你安装一个扩展，增加服务器组件，如CMS或其他服务器，分担处理工作符合。

注意：系统可以扩展增加应用或增加容错性。处理增加的应用。增加服务器叫水平扩展，在一个服务器增加处理器叫垂直扩展。在水平扩展系统中，BOE组件安装在多个机器上，在垂直扩展系统上，多个BOE服务器组件可以运行在同一个机器上。

注意：单个拂去其，垂直增加系统提高了BOE处理增加应用的能力，但并不增加系统的容错性。 定制安装

执行一个定制安装允许你明确指定哪个组件将被安装。 沉默安装

有经验的管理者，沉默安装允许你从命令行进行安装。一般情况如果跨越多个机器快速安装时，推荐使用沉默安装。你也可以讲沉默安装写到你的构建代码中。

Once you have installed the BusinessObjects Enterprise system, you should verify that its components are installed successfully. Checking these components will help you troubleshoot any issues that may occur during the installation process.

Confirm the installation was successful by verifying whether you are able to: • open the Admin LaunchPad

• log onto the CMS and open the Central Management Console • view a Crystal report and Web Intelligence document on demand • schedule a Crystal report and view the scheduled instance

一旦你安装了BOE系统，你需要检查各个组件是否正确安装成功。检查这些组件将帮助你解决一些安装过程中的问题。

确信安装成功，可以执行以下几项： 1.打开管理员面板。（launchpad） 2.登入CMS和打开CMC

3.按需查看水晶报表和WEBI文档。 4.计划一个水晶报表并查看计划实例。
