This latest version of Crystal Enterprise allows you to run all server components on a UNIX server. Users then connect to Crystal Enterprise over the Web with Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. The installation can place the necessary run control scripts in the relevant directories for automated startup (requires root privileges). Or you can confine the installation to a particular directory. Once you've finished the installation and setup procedures, the various server components run as daemons.
Before you run the interactive installation shell script (install.sh), it is strongly recommended that you read through the details and procedures provided in the rest of this section.
If you install the Crystal Enterprise server components on a UNIX machine, you can connect remotely to Crystal Enterprise with the Crystal Publishing Wizard and the Crystal Import Wizard. However, these client applications must be installed on Windows. For details, see Client tools installation.
Note: To connect to Crystal Enterprise from within Crystal Reports 8.5, you must first update Crystal Reports. For details, see the Crystal_Reports_Updates.rtf file included with your product distribution.
