Before you create a Business Objects resource, you must configure the metadata source. If you do not correctly configure the metadata source, the metadata load can fail or the metadata can be incorrectly loaded in the Metadata Manager warehouse.
To configure Business Objects, complete the following tasks:
Install the Metadata Manager Agent.
Enable the Metadata Manager Agent to interact with the desktop.
Configure permissions.
Export objects to a repository.
Verify that the required Business Objects clients and servers are running.
