Initial MicroStrategy configuration

The MicroStrategy Configuration Wizard automates much of the configuration process, prompting you only when information is required. With this tool, you can configure the metadata repository, statistics tables and Enterprise Manager repository, History List tables, MicroStrategy Intelligence Server, and multiple project sources.

If you are configuring MicroStrategy using the Windows operating system, you must have administrative privileges on the computer on which the Intelligence Server is installed, so that you can define the parameters necessary to start the Intelligence Server and to invoke server-definition objects.

You can also configure your MicroStrategy installation using the Configuration Wizard in silent or unattended mode. This allows you to load an existing setup routine to configure your MicroStrategy installation. For information on running the Configuration Wizard with a response file, see Configuring MicroStrategy with a Response File.

You can also use the Configuration Wizard to create an Enterprise Manager project, which provides insights about governing and tuning all areas of your MicroStrategy environment. For steps on how to create an Enterprise Manager project, see the Enterprise Manager Help.
