humm, when you said “install BO on Sun solaris”, do you mean Business Objects clients products like reporter, supervisor or designor or server products like webintelligence, broadcast agent and auditor ??

Hi,

Sorry about the confusion caused, its about server products. The questions like

In unix.

  1. Do i have to create any group to install BO?
  2. Any valid user is OK or a username with some kind of privilliages to be created? what are the privilleges?

thanks

I don’t think it’s as windows NT where you have to config dome user’s rights.

On unix, simply create a webiadm user to manage your product but I think, you have to make install as root.

In pre v6 Webi installations (e.g. v2.6.3) on Solaris, you would normally start the install using the root account.

There reaches a point in the installation where it prompts you for a Solaris user account to use as the WEBi administrator. This can be something like webiadmin.

It will then change the permissions on the files it has created from root to the new webiadmin account.

You’d normally create a webiadmin account in a webi group.

The document you are after is called Installation51unixen.pdf. This can be found on the support website.

Log into Tech Support. Near the top of the screen, click Enterprise 6 and follow the link to Documentation. Choose Installation and Deployment near the center of the screen, and you will find the many documents that are available, including Unix specific.
