What components need to be
installed?
Before you can use the
SAP BusinessObjects Business
Intelligence platform SDK, you must have the
SAP BusinessObjects Business
Intelligence platform installed on either your development machine or
on the same network as your development machine. For more information about how
to install the BI platform, see the
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence
Platform Installation Guide.
What components must be running?
To run a BI platform web application, all of your
client and server components must be running: your web server, application
server, and your Central Management Server (CMS). If you are running on a
Windows system, once you have installed the BI platform with its default
settings, your server components are automatically run as a machine service.
Unless you manually turn this service off, the servers will start whenever you
turn on your computer. For a Unix system, the servers will automatically start
once the installation is completed. However, the servers are not running as a
service and will not automatically start next time the machine is turned on or
rebooted. For more information about how to start and stop your servers, see
the
SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence
Platform Administrator Guide .
Note: It is possible to have
different server components installed on different machines. For example, your
application server can be on a different machine from your web server. If this
is the case, you should ensure that the server components that are on other
machines are running before you use your web application.
