install SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence, Crystal Reports and Xcelsius

[Former Member]

Hello,

I received the mission to install SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence, Crystal Reports and Xcelsius in Windows Server 2008 R / 2.

I have only IP and ERP.

I don't have knowledge of SAP BusinessObjects and I need information about the media needed to install and integrate with environments Installed:

1 - Crystal Reports and Xcelsius install on the server or workstation?

2 - The installation of BusinessObjects Enterprise has a part to install MySQL or use an existing database. Can I install Oracle without creating the instance and point to use Oracle?

Any help is welcome

These both are client tools, which the developers would use. Unless and until needed, its better not to install them on server.

2 - The installation of BusinessObjects Enterprise has a part to install MySQL or use an existing database. Can I install Oracle without creating the instance and point to use Oracle?

Install Oracle first and create a System DSN and use the DSN during the installation. Create a seperate DB in Oracle for your BOBJ administration.

Thanks,

Rajesh
