We actually had this working with BO XI without the shared file space. We just had to define the /arreports context root correctly in Tomcat which we did by coping the arsys.xml file and editing it. I say "had" because that was on a sandbox development server that we just took down. We'll be setting up 4 more copies of it. As far as Tomcat - you want to check the location of your ISAPI connector for Tomcat after it's installed. This is under the properties of the default website for IIS. You'll need to gooogle for the settings and make sure it's looking at the right Tomcat install. And again - as long as it's a compatible one for both servers it shouldn't matter which is being used - but make sure Tomcat is working correctly before going any further.

I'm actually in the process of setting another instance of the midtier in the BO XI server. Now, I'm having a conflict with Tomcat. BO XI installed a tomcat under C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Tomcat55. With the Remedy Midtier, I will be using Tomcat for the JSP engine. Do I need to let midtier install a tomcat in C:\Program Files\ or can I re-use the tomcat (from BO XI)?
