Required third-party software

To successfully deliver and analyze BusinessObjects code, the following third-party software is required:

Install on workstation running the DMT (for extraction)
Install on workstation running CMS (for analysis)

Nothing required

Note that the CAST Delivery Manager Tool simply requires the location of the Universe files for extraction and packaging.

Software required

  • you must ensure that BusinessObjects (the BO Designer module) is installed on the workstation on which the CAST Management Studio is being run from.
  • you must manually define a connection to the BusinessObjects instance on which your Universe files are used - this instance must be available during the analysis process in the CAST Management Studio.
