Configuring the BusinessObjects Data 
Services Adapter
Overview
The BODS 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 BODS jobs: 
 – Apply the license to the Adapter. You cannot define a BusinessObjects Data Services 
connection until you have applied the license from Cisco. 
 – Define BusinessObjects Data Services users that the adapter can use to establish 
authenticated sessions with the BO Data Services 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 connection so the master can communicate with the BO Data Services 
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.
To license an Adapter:
