The installation guidelines in this topic are for installing SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 or SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.1 that is downloaded from the BMC Analytics for BSM Electronic Product Distribution (EPD) page.
This topic contains information about launching the installation and guidelines for the options recommended for use with BMC Analytics for BSM, but it does not contain installation prerequisites or step-by-step instructions for installing the SAP BusinessObjects BI 4.0 or 4.1 product. Also, if you are migrating from SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 3.1, you should be familiar with the upgrade and migration procedures. Find out how to access the SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise installation documentation by going to SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence documentation.
Notes
On a Microsoft Windows operating system, copy all the files (.exe and .rar) under a single directory. For example, SAP_BO_LINUX.
Double click or run the .exe file.
All the SAP BusinessObjects installation related files and the contents of all the .rar files are extracted in a single directory with the name of the directory in digits format. For example, 51046779.
Transfer this directory to a Linux system.
Note
Do not copy the .exe or .rar files again to the Linux system.
Navigate to the \<directoryOnTheLinuxSystem>\ DATA_UNITS \ BusinessObjectsServer_lnx\ directory. For example, \51046779\ DATA_UNITS \ BusinessObjectsServer_lnx\
(Windows) Double-click setup.exe.
If you are copying the installation files from a Microsoft Windows computer to a UNIX computer, the execute permission on the setup.sh file might change. Before installing BMC Analytics for BSM and SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise, execute the following command in the directory where you have copied the files:
chmod 755 `find ./ -type d --name “*”`
chmod 755 `find ./ -type f --name “*”`
