Installing MicroStrategy Intelligence Server

For steps to install MicroStrategy Intelligence Server, see the Installing MicroStrategy on Windows chapter or the Installing MicroStrategy on UNIX and Linux chapter of the Installation and Configuration Guide.

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 a lack of a DVD drive, you can download the software from the MicroStrategy download site.
• To support the use of a graphical user interface for MicroStrategy tools and installing MicroStrategy products on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advanced Platform 5, you must install the libXp-1.0.0-8.x86_64.rpm package included with your Linux install media. If you are using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5, 5.6, and 5.7 you must also install pdksh-5.2.14-36.el5.x86_64.rpm, which is available on the Red Hat Enterprise Linux install media.
• You must have an Intelligence Server Universal license to install on 64-bit Windows operating systems.

If you encounter problems during the installation procedure, refer to the Troubleshooting appendix in the Installation and Configuration Guide and the issues and troubleshooting information. If you require additional assistance, contact MicroStrategy Technical Support.

Directory structure

The table below lists folders and files of interest that are included in the default directory structure after an installation of Intelligence Server.

Note: The default folder is:

• C:\Program Files\MicroStrategy\Product Name when installed on a 32-bit Windows environment.
• C:\Program Files (x86)\MicroStrategy\Product Name when installed on a 64-bit Windows environment.
• /opt/MicroStrategy/Product Name, or $HOME/MicroStrategy/install/Product Name if you do not have write access to /opt/MicroStrategy, when installed on UNIX or Linux environments.

If installing over previous versions of the product, the folder remains the same.

Upgrading MicroStrategy Intelligence Server

In order to benefit from the latest functionality available in this version of MicroStrategy Intelligence Server, an administrator must upgrade the system:

• All pre-9.0.0 MicroStrategy products must be uninstalled prior to upgrading to MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise. After this is complete, you can install the Analytics Enterprise version of MicroStrategy products.
• MicroStrategy 9.0.x products can be upgraded directly to MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise.

Before upgrading, refer to the Upgrade Guide for important information about preparing for the upgrade, the order in which to upgrade products, and tasks to perform after upgrading.

Note: If you are upgrading and you did not previously have MicroStrategy Web Professional, the associated functionality of this product is disabled upon installation. Using License Manager, you must upgrade the old license key to the new license key on every MicroStrategy Intelligence Server machine that MicroStrategy Web is configured to use to enable MicroStrategy Web Professional functionalities.

Upgrading your statistics repository

Upgrading your statistics repository ensures that your statistics repository is up to date with any potential new tables, columns, or other statistics enhancements. You can use the MicroStrategy Configuration Wizard to upgrade your statistics repository. For steps to use the Configuration Wizard to upgrade your statistics repository and other MicroStrategy components, see the Upgrade Guide.
