The characteristic of running jobs as individual processes enables the Web Intelligence Job Server to provide stability and efficiency for running large or complex reports. By running jobs as individual processes, each report is isolated from others, preventing any potential issues or failures from affecting the entire system. This also allows for better resource management and allocation, as each job can be assigned its own set of resources. Additionally, running jobs as individual processes enables parallel processing, allowing multiple reports to be executed simultaneously, further enhancing efficiency.

Configuring the Crystal Reports Page Server service to run under a domain network account allows the service to access the network printer driver for report rendering. This means that the service can easily print reports using the network printer, which may be located on a different system. By running under a domain network account, the service can establish a connection to the network printer driver and efficiently render reports for printing purposes.

To configure the Input file Repository Server's root directory to be located on a remote server, you need to start the service with a domain account that has access to the remote location. This is necessary because the service needs the appropriate permissions to access and interact with files on the remote server. By starting the service with a domain account that has the necessary access rights, you ensure that the service can successfully connect to and utilize the remote location as the root directory for the Input file Repository Server.

The Destination Job Server is the correct answer because it enables a user to send a report object or successful instance to an alternate destination. This component in BusinessObjects Enterprise allows users to specify a different location or recipient for their reports, ensuring flexibility and customization in delivering the desired information.

CORBA stands for Common Object Request Broker Architecture. It is a middleware technology that allows different software components to communicate with each other regardless of the programming language or platform they are running on. It provides a standard way for objects to request services from other objects, enabling interoperability and integration between different systems.

The three tasks that should be performed when troubleshooting a BusinessObjects Enterprise System are: ensuring that client machines are running supported operating systems, ensuring that server machines are running supported operating systems, and collecting error messages and checking them against the Knowledge Base. By ensuring that both client and server machines are running supported operating systems, compatibility issues can be prevented. Collecting error messages and checking them against the Knowledge Base helps in identifying and resolving any known issues or errors.

The correct answer is "Database Records to Read When Previewing or Refreshing a Report." This setting allows you to limit the number of database records that are retrieved when previewing or refreshing a report. By setting a lower value for this setting, you can prevent users from running on-demand reports that would return excessively large record sets, which could impact performance and consume resources.

To ensure that when users explicitly refresh a report, all previously processed data is ignored and new data is retrieved directly from the database, you should modify the "Viewer Refresh Always Yields Current Data" setting for the Crystal Reports Page Server. This setting ensures that the viewer always retrieves the most up-to-date data from the database, disregarding any previously processed data.

To use the BusinessObjects Enterprise Java InfoView and the Central Management Console on a Java Web Application Server, you need to install the BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK and the Web Component Adapter. The BusinessObjects Enterprise Java SDK provides the necessary tools and libraries for developing and integrating Java applications with BusinessObjects Enterprise. The Web Component Adapter is responsible for bridging the gap between the Java Web Application Server and the BusinessObjects Enterprise platform, allowing for seamless communication and integration between the two. ODBC drivers and MySQL drivers are not required for this specific functionality.

The Central Management Server (CMS) calls the Web Intelligence Job Server when a Web Intelligence report's schedule time is reached. This means that when the scheduled time for the report to run is reached, the CMS triggers the Job Server to execute the report and generate the necessary output. This ensures that the report is run and the results are available at the specified schedule time.

To optimize processor scheduling for BusinessObjects Enterprise on a Windows Server, the performance parameter that should be optimized is "Background Services." This is because BusinessObjects Enterprise typically runs as a background service on the server, and optimizing the processor scheduling for background services will ensure that the necessary resources are allocated efficiently to support the smooth operation of the BusinessObjects Enterprise application.

After completing the migration scenario without migrating the user who owns the object, two statements are true. Firstly, the object migrated successfully, indicating that it was transferred from the test system to the production system without any issues. Secondly, the Administrator of the production system becomes the owner of the migrated object, implying that the ownership is transferred to the Administrator after the migration. However, it is not stated whether any security for the object is migrated or not.

The correct answer is "Maximum Jobs Allowed." This option refers to the performance setting for the Destination Job Server in the Central Management Console (CMC). It determines the maximum number of jobs that can be processed by the Job Server at any given time. By setting a specific value for this option, administrators can control the workload and optimize the performance of the Job Server based on the available resources and system requirements.

The correct answer is Central Management Console because it is the main interface where you can manage and configure server groups. The Central Management Console allows you to create, edit, and delete server groups, which are used to organize and manage servers in a centralized manner. This is where you can assign servers to specific groups, set group-level settings, and perform various administrative tasks related to server groups.

The Web Application Server (WAS) is responsible for handling user requests and delivering the requested content to the user. In this case, when a BusinessObjects Enterprise user requests to view a Web Intelligence document on demand, the Web Intelligence Report Server processes the report and sends it to the Web Application Server. The Web Application Server then delivers the processed report to the user, allowing them to view it.

The correct answer is "List of Values Caching". This parameter enables or disables List of Values (LOV) caching per user session. LOV caching allows the server to store the LOV values in memory, reducing the need to retrieve them from the database each time they are accessed. By enabling this parameter, the server can improve the performance and response time of the reports by caching the LOV values for each user session.

The error message suggests that the NT Authentication could not log the user on, indicating that there is an issue with the user's login information. The first possible cause for the error is that the user is not a member of the default domain and had not specified their domain. This means that the user's login credentials are not recognized within the system. The second possible cause is that the user entered their Enterprise user name instead of their NT user name. This means that the user provided incorrect login information, causing the authentication to fail.

When using the .NET architecture in BusinessObjects Enterprise, you must install the .NET framework on the IIS Web Application Server. The .NET framework is required for running and executing .NET applications, and since BusinessObjects Enterprise is built on the .NET architecture, the framework needs to be installed on the server where the application is hosted. The Central Management Server (CMS) is responsible for managing the BusinessObjects Enterprise system, the Report Application Server (RAS) is used for generating and delivering reports, and Apache Tomcat Server is typically used for hosting Java-based applications, so none of these servers require the installation of the .NET framework.

The List of Values (LOV) Job Server is responsible for running scheduled LOV objects. This means that it is in charge of executing the tasks associated with generating and displaying the list of values in a report or application. The LOV Job Server ensures that the scheduled LOV objects are executed at the specified times and that the results are available for use in the relevant reports or applications.

The Web Application Server plays a role in generating the output of a Crystal Report to the user's web client when viewed on demand using the DHTML viewer. It is responsible for handling the user's request, retrieving the necessary data from the database, processing it, and rendering the report in a format that can be displayed in the web browser.

The Central Management Server (CMS) writes collected auditing data directly to the Auditing Database. The CMS is responsible for managing and coordinating all the services in the BusinessObjects Enterprise Server. It collects and processes auditing data from various components and writes it to the Auditing Database for analysis and reporting purposes. The Web Application Server, Connection Server, and Auditing Server do not directly write auditing data to the database.

To add another Crystal Reports Job Server service to the machine, the following three tasks must be performed: Start the server, Create the server, and Enable the server. Starting the server ensures that it is up and running, while creating the server involves setting up the necessary configurations and parameters for the new server. Enabling the server allows it to actively participate in the BOE system and perform its designated tasks. Synchronizing the server is not required in this scenario.

The Web Intelligence Job Server is responsible for notifying the Central Management Server (CMS) when a scheduled Web Intelligence document runs successfully. This server manages the execution of Web Intelligence jobs and communicates the status of the job to the CMS.

To prevent the error "A processing limit was reached" when a BusinessObjects Enterprise user is viewing a report on demand, the Number of database records to read property in the Report Application Server (RAS) setting should be increased. This will allow the RAS to retrieve and process a larger number of database records, ensuring that the processing limit is not reached and the error is avoided.

The Event Server monitors File Events.

List of Values (LOV) objects can be created in two locations: Business View Manager and Crystal Reports. The Business View Manager allows users to create and manage LOV objects for use in Business Views. Crystal Reports also provides the functionality to create LOV objects, which can be used in the report design process. The Central Management Console and List of Values Job Server are not locations where LOV objects can be created.

To confirm that your BusinessObjects Enterprise System is installed and configured properly, you can perform the following tests:
1. Open the BusinessObjects Enterprise Administration Launchpad (Java or .NET depending upon your Web Application Server) and log into InfoView. This test ensures that the administration launchpad is accessible and that the user can log in successfully.
2. Log into the Central Management Server from the Central Management Console. This test verifies that the central management server is functioning correctly and that the user can access it.
3. Schedule a Crystal Report and view the resulting instance. This test checks if the scheduling and execution of Crystal Reports is working properly.

Before migrating the Central Management Server (CMS) database to a new data source, it is necessary to stop the Central Management Server (CMS). This is because the CMS needs to be stopped in order to release any locks or connections it may have with the current data source. By stopping the CMS, it ensures that the database is not in use and can be safely migrated to the new data source without any conflicts or issues.

The Crystal Reports Cache Server performs two tasks: storing .EPF files and storing .ETF files. .EPF files are used to store report data and layout information, while .ETF files are used to store temporary files generated during report processing. By caching these files, the Crystal Reports Cache Server helps improve report performance by reducing the need to regenerate them every time a report is accessed.

By changing the Universe Cache Size of the Web Intelligence Report Server, you will affect the number of Universes that are cached. Increasing the cache size will allow more Universes to be stored in the cache, improving performance and reducing the need for repeated retrieval of Universes from the database. Conversely, decreasing the cache size will limit the number of Universes that can be cached, potentially impacting performance if frequent access to different Universes is required.

The Central Management Console (CMC) is a web-based application used to manage and administer BusinessObjects Enterprise. In order for a client to run the CMC, it is essential to have network connectivity to the Central Management Server (CMS). The CMS is the core component of BusinessObjects Enterprise that manages all the system's resources, including users, servers, and reports. Without network connectivity to the CMS, the client will not be able to connect to and access the CMC, thus rendering it unusable.

The correct answer is that the active File Repository Servers are the ones that were first to register with the Central Management Server. This means that when the BusinessObjects Enterprise system was initially deployed, the first File Repository Servers that were installed and registered with the Central Management Server are considered the active ones.

The Web Intelligence Report Server and Web Intelligence Job Server can be restarted using the Central Management Console. The Central Management Console provides a centralized interface for managing and monitoring various servers and services in BusinessObjects Enterprise. It allows administrators to perform tasks such as starting, stopping, and restarting servers. In this case, the Web Intelligence Report Server and Web Intelligence Job Server can be restarted using the Central Management Console, indicating that these servers are managed through this interface.

When viewing the report on demand, if the record set exceeds the "Database Records to Read When Previewing or Refreshing a Report" setting, an error message will be shown. This is because the report is unable to fetch and display the entire record set due to the limitation set by the "Database Records to Read" setting. Therefore, the user will be notified with an error message indicating that the report cannot be fully displayed.

The options "Expand," "New," and "Custom" are available on the initial Install Type screen when installing BusinessObjects Enterprise. "Expand" is selected when you want to add components to an existing installation. "New" is chosen when you want to perform a fresh installation of BusinessObjects Enterprise. "Custom" allows you to customize the installation by selecting specific components and features to install.

The Crystal Reports Job Server is responsible for notifying the Central Management Server (CMS) of the instance status when a scheduled Crystal Report runs successfully. This server is specifically designed to handle job scheduling and execution within the Crystal Reports environment. It communicates with the CMS to update the status of the report instance and ensure that the necessary information is available for further processing or analysis.

The reason for the instance failing when the report is scheduled is that there is no DSN (Data Source Name) on the Crystal Reports Job Server that matches the DSN in the report. The DSN is necessary for establishing a connection to the corporate data in Oracle. Without a matching DSN, the Job Server is unable to connect to the data source and retrieve the required information for generating the report, resulting in the failure of the scheduled instance.

The Central Management Server broadcasts its system time every 60 minutes by default. This means that it sends out its current time information to other devices or servers on the network every hour. This broadcasting of system time helps ensure that all devices on the network are synchronized and have accurate time information.

To maintain the rights associated with the imported objects when using the Import Wizard, you need to select "Import users" and "Import user groups". By selecting these options, the users and user groups associated with the imported objects will also be imported, ensuring that the same rights and permissions are maintained in the production environment. This is important for maintaining the security and access control of the imported objects in the new environment.

The correct answer is "Web Intelligence Report Server Document Cache Duration". This setting allows you to specify the duration for which the content of Web Intelligence Reports is stored in the cache. By setting a specific duration, you can control how long the cached data remains available for faster retrieval.

When the schedule time is reached, the Crystal Reports Job Server will spawn a JobServerChild process to run the report. This means that a separate child process will be created to handle the execution of the report, allowing for better resource management and scalability. This approach ensures that the report can be run efficiently without impacting the overall performance of the Crystal Reports Job Server.

The Destination Job Server retrieves the report file from the Output File Repository Server when it sends an instance to an SMTP Server. The Output File Repository Server is responsible for storing and managing the report files generated by Crystal Reports. When the Destination Job Server needs to send a report instance via email using the SMTP Server, it will retrieve the necessary file from the Output File Repository Server before sending it.

The Report Application Server will interact with the Web Application Server (WAS) to complete the view on demand request. The Report Application Server is responsible for processing and generating Crystal Reports, while the Web Application Server handles the interaction with the user interface. Therefore, when a user with sufficient rights views a Crystal Report on demand using the Advanced DHTML viewer, the Report Application Server will communicate with the Web Application Server to fulfill the request.

The given answer suggests that the cause of only records for Canada appearing in the instance when running the report on demand is that the country parameter in the report has a default value of Canada. This means that when the report is run without explicitly selecting a different country, it automatically defaults to Canada.

The two events that can be audited on the Crystal Reports Cache Server are when a report has been viewed successfully and when a report could not be viewed. These events are important to track and monitor as they provide information on the successful viewing of reports and any issues that may arise when attempting to view a report. By auditing these events, administrators can identify any potential problems and take appropriate actions to resolve them.

The two requirements for clustering Central Management Server (CMS) machines in the BusinessObjects Enterprise environment are that all CMS machines must connect to the System database in the same manner and all CMS machines must be in the same time zone.

The recommended value for the Maximum Simultaneous Report parameter of the Desktop Intelligence Report Server is two greater than the Number of Preloaded Report Jobs value. This means that the Maximum Simultaneous Report parameter should be set to a value that is two more than the Number of Preloaded Report Jobs value. This ensures that there are enough resources available to handle the maximum number of simultaneous report jobs without causing any performance issues or delays.

The auditing database for BusinessObjects Enterprise should use a page size of 8k. This is because a larger page size allows for more data to be stored on each page, reducing the number of pages needed to store the same amount of data. This can improve performance and efficiency when accessing and retrieving data from the database.

The four servers involved in processing a scheduled Program object are the Input File Repository Server, Output File Repository Server, Program Job Server, and Central Management Server. The Input File Repository Server is responsible for storing the input files required for the program. The Output File Repository Server stores the output files generated by the program. The Program Job Server executes the program and performs the necessary computations. The Central Management Server handles the scheduling and management of the program execution.

The minimum disk space required for the drive holding the TEMP directory when installing BusinessObjects Enterprise is 700 MB. This is likely because the installation process may require temporary storage for various files and resources, and having at least 700 MB of free space ensures that there is enough room for these temporary files.
