Overview of BusinessObjects CMS (Central Management Server)

The Central Management Server (CMS) is the key Component within Xi, handling security and the routing of requests to other services.

If the CMS is not running, then users will not be able to log into Business Objects.

The Central Management Server maintains a database of information that allows you to manage the BusinessObjects Enterprise Infrastructure.

The CMS has four main functions:

  • Maintains security (users)
  • Manages objects (folders, reports, and program objects)
  • Manages servers (services)
  • Manages auditing (system auditor).
