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:
6 Process Tracker Installation Guide
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.

Installing Process Tracker
Installing Process Tracker on a Windows platform
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.

Installing Process Tracker
How does Process Tracker affect your system?
A Process_Tracker folder is created in:
[BO_INSTALL_DIR]/bobje/enterprise115
3. Change your current directory to Process_Tracker and run install.sh.
How does Process Tracker affect your
system?
After installation, Process Tracker 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.
