Verify that the Installation was Successful

There are two approaches that can be taken to verify a successful installation. The approach you will want to take depends on whether you are the administrator on your computer or not. For Administrators: Open the Control Panel (Start < Control Panel) Select Add/Remove Programs Verify the successful installation by confirming that BusinessObjects FP 5.2 and BusinessObjects XI R2 Service Pack 5 is shown in the list of programs. For Non-Administrators: Open the SP5Install_0.log in following location: C: Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Logging. Note: You may open the log file with NotePad, if it is not automatically selected for you. Scroll to the bottom of the log file and if the installation was successful, you will find the following script: Product: BusinessObjects XI R2 Service Pack5 Installation operation completed successfully. Unfortunately, due to the silent install, a log file does not get created for BusinessObjects FP5.2.

Launching Desktop Intelligence

There are two different ways to launch Desktop Intelligence, from your Start menu and from InfoView (EDDIE). Please see below for the differences. Launching via the Start Menu When launching through your Start menu (Start -> All Programs -> BusinessObjects XI Release 2 - > Desktop Intelligence) Desktop Intelligence makes a direct connection to the repository database and thus requires an Oracle client to be installed on the machine. If launching from the Start menu is desired, please see the Oracle client installation instructions at https://www.ds.uillinois.edu/bluestem/doc.pl/howtos/HowTo_Oracle_Install10g.pdf

Launching via InfoView The other option is to launch Desktop Intelligence from InfoView (EDDIE) every time it is needed. In this scenario Desktop Intelligence connects to the repository database through the server and therefore, no local installation of an Oracle client is required. Once Desktop Intelligence is open, InfoView can be closed.
