MicroStrategy ONE

Configuring SSH on Windows

If SSH is not running or installed during your MicroStrategy installation, the installer does not enable the feature to start and stop services in Workstation. You must enable SSH server in Services Registration to start and stop services in Workstation.

To configure SSH on Windows:

  1. Install or enable SSH server on your Windows machine. If your Windows machine has Windows 10 Fall Creators Update, Windows Service 1809, or Windows Server 2019, you can follow the steps from the following Microsoft websites:

    Open SSH in Windows 10!

    Windows Server 2019 Includes OpenSSH

    Using the OpenSSH Beta in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update and Windows Server 1709

  2. To enable the built-in SSH server for older Windows versions, see Install Win32 OpenSSH.
  3. Configure and start your SSH server.
  4. If you have firewall, open the SSH port in your firewall. For example, port 22.
  5. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\MicroStrategy\Services Registration\yaml and edit the installation_list.yaml file.

  6. Make the following modifications:

    • Modify "CommonPath" to the MicroStrategy Common Files installation directory. By default, this path is C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MicroStrategy.
    • Modify "InstallType" to 1.
    • Modify "Port" to use your SSH server's port number.
    • Modify "version" to use your MicroStrategy version number.
    Copy 
    ---
    service:
      Name: "SSH-Server"
      ID: "SSH-Server"
      CommonPath: "C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\MicroStrategy"
      InstallType: 1
      Port: 22
      Tags:
        version: "11.2.0000.0123"

  7. Navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\MicroStrategy\Services Registration\jar and run the following command to generate a new JSON file for the SSH Server.

    Copy 
    java -jar svcsreg-admin.jar parse SSH-Server

    Your newly generated JSON file is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\MicroStrategy\Services Registration\config.

  8. Restart MicroStrategy Services Registration from Windows Service Manager.
  9. Open the Topology view in Workstation. Now you can start and stop services.
