MicroStrategy ONE

Deploying MicroStrategy Web

The ASP.NET version of MicroStrategy Web can be deployed with IIS only on Windows.

  • You must have administrative privileges to deploy MicroStrategy Web for your project. If this is the first time you are logging in and you have not changed the default MicroStrategy administrative login, you can use Administrator as the login with no password. After the first time, the user name and password should be changed for security purposes.
  • The Microsoft Windows' Users group must have read and execute permissions to all of the files within the MicroStrategy common files folder. This ensures that Internet Information Services has the required permissions to host MicroStrategy Web. By default, this folder is stored in the following directory location:

    64-bit Windows environments:

    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\MicroStrategy
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\MicroStrategy

To connect MicroStrategy Web to your Intelligence Server

  1. On the Windows Start menu, go to Programs > MicroStrategy Tools > Web Administrator. The MicroStrategy Web Administrator page where you connect MicroStrategy Web to the Intelligence Server opens.
  2. Type the name of your Intelligence Server in the Add a server manually box on the MicroStrategy Web Administrator page.
  3. Click Connect. All projects loaded on the Intelligence Server are now available from MicroStrategy Web. Click the Home icon to see the list of projects loaded on the Intelligence Server you specified.

  4. Send your users the URL:

    http://webservername/MicroStrategy/asp/

    where webservername is the name of the computer hosting your Web server. For example, if the name of your Web server machine is Web_Srv1, then the URL your users would use to access MicroStrategy Web would be

    http://Web_Srv1/MicroStrategy/asp

You have manually connected MicroStrategy Web to the Intelligence Server.

You can also connect automatically whenever MicroStrategy Web Server or Intelligence Server starts.

To make MicroStrategy Web connect to the Intelligence Server automatically

  1. On the MicroStrategy Web Administrator page, click Modify in the Properties column of the Intelligence Server.
  2. Select the Automatically connect to Intelligence Server when Web Server or Intelligence Server is restarted option and click Save.
