Starting the Business Intelligence Launch Pad

Before you begin

  • BMC Reporting Foundation must be installed and the report server must be running.
  • You must know the name and password of at least one user who has permissions to use Business Intelligence Launch Pad. Typically, one or more users are defined during the installation of a BMC reporting solution set.

To start the report portal

  1. Open a web browser.
  2. If the report server is using Apache as the web server, type the following in the Address box, where hostname is the name of the server where Business Objects is installed . The default port number is 8080.
    You can access the Report Portal from 
    http://hostName:8080/BOE/BI
  3. On the Log On to BI launch pad page, type the name and password of a user with permission to use launch pad.
    The BMC Reporting home page is displayed. 

Verifying whether the CMS is running

Type the following command to verify whether the CMS is running on a Solaris computer:

 {{ps -aef\|grep boe_cmsd}}
