Install and configure Crystal Server software, and then
on the Crystal Server, install the application server client software
that matches the version on the Content Engine or Content Platform Engine server. Follow the instructions for installing WebSphere® Application
Server, WebLogic Server, or JBoss Application Server.
About this task
IBM® FileNet® P8 Platform supports
various application servers. The server that hosts Crystal Server
2011 must have the same application server installed, or its client
components, as the
FileNet P8 Content Engine or
Content Platform Engine.
Procedure
To install and configure the Crystal Server follow these
general steps:
- Install the following products:
- SAP Crystal Server 2011 (Named License required), then
- SAP Crystal Reports 2011
- Configure the Crystal Server for IBM Enterprise
Records.
- Run the Central Management Console (CMC) on the Crystal
Servers.
- Select Servers from the menu
and verify that all servers are running.
- Select Users and Groups from
the menu, and select User List.
- Click the Guest account and select Properties.
- Select Named User for the Connection Type and clear the Account is Disabled check box.
Important: Use the Named User license
because, otherwise, you need hundreds of concurrent licenses to view
reports in IBM Enterprise
Records. Each
concurrent license is equivalent to one report.
- Click Save & Close to set
the Guest user account options.
- Locate the IP Port number specified
in the server element of the C:/Program Files (x86)/SAP
BusinessObjects/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/java/lib/clientSDKOptions.xml file. This port is used to connect the IBM Enterprise
Records server and the server
that hosts the Crystal Server. The default port number is 1566.
- In the CMC, select Servers from
the menu, click the server ReportApplicationServer, and select Properties.
- In the Command Line Parameters field, add -ipport IP_Port_number to the end of
the command line, outside of any path quotation marks. For example, add -ipport 1566 and be sure
to use a normal dash in the command, not a long dash.
- Click Save & Close to set
the IP Port number.
- In the CMC, select and highlight all servers in the
CMC server list, select Restart Server to restart
the servers. Wait until the list automatically refreshes,
and then ensure that no Stale servers are shown (flag in the Stale
column). If Stale servers are shown, restart those servers.
- Select Servers from the menu,
and verify that all servers are running.
- Copy the contents of the folder containing the Crystal
Server templates, specific to the data model you are using, from the
following data-model-specific folder:
IER Media root folder\Reports\DataModel
to the following location on the Crystal Server:
Drive:/Program Files (x86)/SAP BusinessObjects
/SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0/Samples/en/Reports
Important: Do not copy the directory, only
the contents of the directory.
