Deploying MicroStrategy Web and Mobile Server

This chapter describes the procedure to deploy a project to your user community using MicroStrategy Web and Mobile Server. The process of deploying the .NET version of MicroStrategy Web or MicroStrategy Mobile Server on Windows with Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) is explained in detail.

Steps to deploy MicroStrategy Web (JSP) and MicroStrategy Mobile Server (JSP) in a Linux and Windows environment with various Web and application servers are also explained in detail. MicroStrategy Web (JSP) and Mobile Server (JSP) are platform-independent and can be deployed using different combinations of operating systems, Web servers, and application servers.

Web application servers are not MicroStrategy products, so detailed steps cannot be provided for every combination of application server and operating system. This chapter supplies instructions for a few of the most common combinations. The procedures for different operating systems are similar, but you should refer to the vendor-provided information and documentation for details specific to your configuration, or contact MicroStrategy Technical Support.

MicroStrategy Web simplifies the job of deploying to large user groups because end users' machines only need a supported browser. MicroStrategy Web can be accessed from any supported browser because no code must be downloaded. Working as a thin client, MicroStrategy Web provides the functionality that end users and power users require to take full advantage of the MicroStrategy product suite.
