Creating a Platform Analytics Project

If you selected option 3 in Creating a response.ini File, you can Create a Platform Analytics Project.

If you choose Create a Platform Analytics Project when a project already exists, a message appears indicating the project exists and asks if you'd like to upgrade your Platform Analytics project. Enter y to continue or enter n to exit. If you choose Upgrade existing environment to MicroStrategy Analytics Enterprise when a project does not exist, a message appears indicating the project does not exists and asks if you want to create a new Platform Analytics project. Enter y to continue or n to exit.

This procedure assumes you have already opened the Configuration Wizard in command line mode and selected to create a Platform Analytics project, as described in Creating a response.ini File.

To create a Platform Analytics project

  1. Enter your MicroStrategy username and password to connect to the Intelligence Server. You must have administrative privileges.
  2. If the Configuration Wizard detects an existing Platform Analytics Project in the metadata, a message is displayed on whether to update the Platform Analytics project tables. If you type Y and press Enter, all information in the existing Platform Analytics project tables is overwritten when the response file is executed at a later time.
  3. Select the location of the Project Analytics project packages.
  4. Select the location of the Project Analytics configuration packages.
  5. Type the number corresponding to the Mysql ODBC DSN/PostgreSQL ODBC DSN for the database to store your Platform Analytics Project tables and click Enter.

    If you do not have a DSN defined on your Linux machine, see Creating a DSN for a Data Source.

  6. Enter the login and password to your DSN and click Enter.

  7. Enter characters to use as a prefix for the names of your metadata tables or use no prefix and click Enter.

    The Configuration Wizard automatically applies the following configuration files:

    • PlatformAnalyticsConfigurationNew.scp
    • PlatformAnalyticsConfigurationNew_PostgreSQL.scp
    • PlatformAnalyticsConfigurationUpgrade.scp
    • PlatformAnalyticsConfigurationUpgrade_PostgreSQL.scp
  8. If an error appears about being unable to automatically apply project settings to Platform Analtyics, you must manually update the project settings. For instructions, see Configure the Platform Analytics Project.

To Generate a response.ini File

  1. By default, the configuration is saved as Response.ini in the /HOME_PATH/ directory, where HOME_PATH is the directory you specified as the Home Directory during installation. You can leave the field blank to use the default name or type a different name and click Enter. The response.ini file is generated, and you are prompted whether to run the configuration immediately.
  2. You can choose to run the configuration you just completed or to run the configuration using the response.ini file at a different time, as described below:
