Configuring the BusinessObjects Adapter

Overview

The BusinessObjects Adapter software is installed as part of a standard installation of CWA. However, you must perform 
the following steps to license and configure the adapter before you can schedule and run BusinessObjects jobs:



 – Apply the license to the BusinessObjects Adapter. You cannot define a BusinessObjects 

connection until you have applied the BusinessObjects license from Cisco.



 – Define BusinessObjects users that the adapter can use to establish 

authenticated sessions with the BusinessObjects server and permit requests to be made on behalf of the 
authenticated account.



 – Configure authentication as necessary for your environment.



 – Configure the HTTPS protocol if used in your environment.



 – Define a BusinessObjects connection so the master can 

communicate with the BusinessObjects server.

See 

 for details about configuring service.props to control such things as polling, output, and 

log gathering.

Licensing an Adapter

Each CWA Adapter must be separately licensed. You cannot use an Adapter until you apply the license file. If you 
purchase the Adapter after the original installation of CWA, you will receive a new license file authorizing the use of the 
Adapter. 

You might have a Demo license which is good for 30 days, or you might have a Permanent license. The procedures to 
install these license files are described below.
