BusinessObjects Enterprise Administrator's Guide

Common configurations

This section details the common ways in which you should begin to scale, or expand, your BusinessObjects Enterprise system. The scenarios described are those that have been most thoroughly tested by Business Objects. As a baseline, this section assumes that you have not yet distributed the BusinessObjects Enterprise servers across multiple machines; however, this section does assume familiarity with the BusinessObjects Enterprise architecture, installation, and server configuration. For preliminary installation information, see the BusinessObjects Enterprise Installation Guide.

Tip:    If you are deploying multi-processor machines, you may also want to run one or more BusinessObjects Enterprise servers in multiple instances on that machine. For details, see Adding a server.

This section describes the following common configurations:

• One-machine setup
• Three-machine setup
• Six-machine setup
