MicroStrategy ONE

Editing Your Database Instance Login

The project package you received with the initial setup of Platform Analytics includes a Database Instance (DBI) for your project. By default the DBI is automatically assigned login credentials that you must manually edit before publishing cubes in your environment and running reports, documents, and dashboards.

Make sure you have completed the following:

  • Configured the data warehouse
  • Created the Data Source Names (DSNs) for the project
  • Created the metadata for the project
  • Created the project source name
  • Set up the Intelligence server
  • Added MicroStrategy objects to the project

To edit your database instance login

  1. Open the Platform Analytics project in Developer. Under the Administration tab, select Configuration Managers.

    If you are running MicroStrategy Developer on Windows for the first time, run it as an administrator.

    Right‑click the program icon and select Run as Administrator.

    This is necessary in order to properly set the Windows registry keys. For more information, see KB43491.

  2. Select the Platform Analytics database instance.
  3. Right-click on the database instance and select to Edit.
  4. In the General tab, select Modify, opening the Database Connections window.
  5. Select Modify again, opening the Database Logins window.
  6. Change the information to reflect the username and password needed to connect to your data warehouse.
  7. Enter your Username and Password for your data warehouse
  8. Click OK twice.
