Installing MicroStrategy Analytics Modules

For steps to install the MicroStrategy Analytics Modules, see the Installation chapter of the Installation and Porting Guide.

Review the following information:

  • You can log in to the Analytics Modules project source (called the MicroStrategy Analytics Modules in Developer) as "Administrator" with no password to connect to the projects.
  • You can use the Project Duplication tool in MicroStrategy Developer or the Project Mover utility to export any of the projects from the MicroStrategy Analytics Modules metadata to any MicroStrategy-certified database platform. If you use Project Mover, the default warehouse can be created on a database using scripts generated from the data model. For information about duplicating or moving projects, see the System Administration Guide.
  • Project-level VLDB properties must be updated depending on the database used. In some cases, adjusting additional report-level settings may be required. For information about VLDB properties, see the VLDB Properties appendix in the Supplemental Reference for System Administration.

Notes:

  • Windows Installer 3.0 or later is required to install MicroStrategy products on a Windows platform.
  • If you are unable to install MicroStrategy software from the DVD-ROM format due to the lack of a DVD drive, you can download the software from the MicroStrategy download site.

If you encounter problems during the installation procedure, refer to General Information Readme - Troubleshooting and the Troubleshooting appendix in the Installation and Configuration Guide. If you require additional assistance, contact MicroStrategy Technical Support.
