Configuring and Connecting Intelligence Server

After installing MicroStrategy, you must complete a few configuration tasks. This chapter addresses the processes used to configure the databases you intend to use in your business intelligence system, as well as an installed MicroStrategy suite of products.

The MicroStrategy platform includes a Tutorial project, which is a sample data warehouse and a demonstration project you can use to learn about the various features that MicroStrategy offers. It is ready to be used and requires no additional configuration tasks. If you want to set up a new system using your own data, you must read this chapter and perform the tasks it describes.

If you are configuring MicroStrategy on a Linux machine that does not have a GUI, you can perform configuration tasks with command line tools. For steps to perform configuration tasks using command line tools in Linux, see Configuring MicroStrategy Using Command Line Tools.
