Warning

Note

The SAP BusinessObjects XI Enterprise platform used by BMC Analytics for BSM provides comprehensive business intelligence functionality. This reporting platform is capable of a multiple-server implementation with suitable deployment planning and sizing. Installing the reporting platform on a single server is possible, but it might not suit a production implementation in a large organization and might produce unacceptable results, including failure to produce reports on time.

Effective deployment planning and sizing of the reporting platform in a production environment requires SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI knowledge and training. BMC assumes that you have received the education and training that is required to operate this platform beyond a simple test implementation.
