is behind a firewall, and separated from the web server, which runs on a different subnet.

Can you install ZABO, WebIntelligence and Broadcast Agent on the same machine?

Yes. You can install the ZABO, WEBINTELLIGENCE, and BROADCAST AGENT on the same machine. However, in this case, although you can download ZABO to client machines, downloading it to the server machine is not supported.

What is ZABO?

Is a enterprise server product constitutes the server side of a light, optimized deployment of BO 5.1.2 that combines the key advantages of thin client Webi and the full-client BO product.
• In a zero-administration deployment of BO, only the BO client software is installed on a Windows PC; all middleware is stored and administered on the server and the server-side processing is handled by the Webi system. This means zero-administration on the client computer. It has a 3 tier Architecture:
• Tier 1: the client. The BO software is installed on the client machine.
• Tier 2: the ZABO Server
• Tier3: the data sources

What’s New WebIntelligence SDK Object Models?

What’s the difference between Full client (BO) and Thin Client (Webi) DOCUMENTS?

• Full-client (BO) documents can be much more complex than thin-client documents due to additional reporting features in the full client product. Thin-client documents, however, can allow for much larger deployments.
• Refreshing a full-client document in the distributed architecture deployment requires more resources than refreshing a thin-client document, because of the ability to handle more complex documents built into BUSINESSOBJECTS.
• BUSINESSOBJECTS users can use a scheduling option for full-client documents called Faster Document Viewing Over the Web that generates either a Windows metafile or HTML version of the document.
