Configuring the BusinessObjects BI Platform 
Adapter
Overview
The BOBIP Adapter software is installed as part of a standard installation of Enterprise Scheduler. 
However, you must perform the following steps to license and configure the adapter before you can 
schedule and run BO BI Platform jobs: 
  •
 – Apply the license to the Adapter. You cannot define a BusinessObjects BI 
Platform connection until you have applied the license from Cisco. 
  •
 – Define BusinessObjects BI Platform users that the adapter can use to 
establish authenticated sessions with the BO BI Platform 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 BI Platform server.
See 
 for details about configuring service.props to control such things as 
polling, output, and log gathering.
Licensing an Adapter
Each TES 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 TES, 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.
