BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Accessing the CCM for Windows

From a Windows machine, use the CCM to manage BusinessObjects Enterprise server components that are running locally or on a remote Windows machine. To run the CCM, you must have NT administrator rights on the local machine. If you are managing servers on a remote machine, you must also have NT administrator rights on the machine you are connecting to. Depending on the configuration of your network, you might be prompted to enter a user name and password.

To start the CCM

From the BusinessObjects Enterprise program group, click Central Configuration Manager.

The servers that are available on the local machine appear in the list. A status icon is displayed for each server:

• A green arrow indicates the server is running.
• A yellow arrow indicates the server is starting.
• A red arrow indicates the server is not running.

Note:    The status icons do not indicate whether servers are enabled or disabled. Servers must be enabled before they will respond to BusinessObjects Enterprise requests. Click Enable/Disable on the toolbar to log on and enable or disable servers. For details, see "Enabling and disabling servers" on page 87.

To connect to servers on a remote machine

1. Once you have started the CCM, you can connect to a remote machine in several ways:
• In the Computer Name field, type the name of the machine you want to connect to; then press Enter.
• In the Computer Name field, select a remote machine from the list.
•  On the toolbar, click Browse. Select the appropriate computer; then click OK.
2. If prompted, log on to the remote machine with an account holding administrative rights.

Note:    You may need to type your user name as domain\username.

The CCM lists the servers associated with this machine.
