Installing and configuring Enterprise Manager

Below is a high-level overview of the steps to install and configure Enterprise Manager for your MicroStrategy system.

Consider the best practices for installing and configuring Enterprise Manager and confirm that you have fulfilled the prerequisites for installing it.
- • Read the Best practices for installing and configuring Enterprise Manager.
- • For a list of the prerequisites, see MicroStrategy Enterprise Manager prerequisites.

Install Enterprise Manager. For steps to install Enterprise Manager, see the Installation and Configuration Help.
Step through items in the MicroStrategy Configuration Wizard that are relevant to Enterprise Manager:
- Set up tables in the statistics and Enterprise Manager repository, which includes the statistics database and the Enterprise Manager data warehouse. For steps to create the tables, see Creating the Enterprise Manager repository.
- Configure your projects to log statistics to the statistics database. Each project for which you want to log statistics, you specify the information that you want to have logged. For steps on doing this, see the System Administration Help.
- Create the Enterprise Manager project: Unpack objects to create the project and the metadata database for use with the project. For steps to create the project, see Creating the Enterprise Manager project.

Use MicroStrategy Command Manager to define the following:
- The projects for which Enterprise Manager will perform data loads. These should be the same projects in which you turned on statistics in the previous step. For steps to configure the projects, see Creating a data load.
- Data loading schedules for when your projects are loaded into the Enterprise Manager repository. For steps to define the schedules, see Creating a data load.
- Maintenance tasks that are done in the data load process. For steps on defining these, see Selecting Enterprise Manager maintenance tasks to perform in the data load.
- What is logged when a data load occurs and how large the log files and table can get. For steps to define these, see Configuring what Enterprise Manager data load information is logged.
