Pre-installation checklist
Before you install Process Tracker:
❏ Check that your operating system, database, middleware, application
and web servers are supported by Business Objects.
The Products Availability Report (PAR), available at http://
www.techsupport.businessobjects.com, has the list of currently
supported platform configurations.
❏ Ensure that you have BusinessObjects Enterprise XI installed on your
server, and that you have a Business Objects Premium keycode.
❏ Ensure that you have installed any necessary HotFixes and CSPs. See
the Release Notes for more information.
❏ Ensure that you have access to an administrator account on Windows.
❏ If you are using the following web components:
• .NET, ensure that .NET and IIS 5 or 6 are installed and configured.
These are required for the installer, and can optionally be used for
other servers as well.
• Java, ensure that the following are installed and configured:
• JDK 1.3.1.02 or later
• an application server (such as Tomcat)
• a web server (such as Apache)
Note: If your Java web application server does not install the Java
SDK as part of its installation process, you must install the J2SE SDK
before installing Process Tracker. You can download the J2SE SDK
from java.sun.com.
Read the documentation on the Sun web site, and select a version of
the J2SE SDK that is compatible both with your Java application
server and with the BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK.

How does Process Tracker affect your system?
After installation, Process T racker is stored as a set of .jar (Java Archive) files
in the deployment directory. Process Tracker is written entirely in Java and
uses Servlet/JSP technology .
All servlets execute under one or more Java Virtual Machines, which are
under the control of web server (for example, Tomcat) or application servers
(for example, Weblogic or Websphere). You can look in the configuration files
of the web or application server to understand how the servlets are deployed.
Processes and their instances defined in the Process Tracker are stored on
the Central Management Server.
