This basic configuration separates the Crystal Enterprise servers from the rest of your reporting environment and from your web server, and installs all Crystal Enterprise servers on a single machine. This grants the Crystal Enterprise servers their own set of processing resources, which they do not have to share with database and web server processes. These are the general steps to setting up this configuration for the default Windows installation of Crystal Enterprise:
If you are still using the MSDE CMS database on Windows, migrate the CMS database to a supported database server. See the Platforms.txt file included with your product distribution for a list of supported database servers.
For a UNIX installation (or for a Windows installation that uses the Crystal Enterprise Java SDK), install your Crystal Enterprise servers on the same machine as your Java web application server and the Web Component Adapter.
