Updating Essbase Studio References to a Rehosted Performance Management Architect Server or to Text Files Used as Data Sources

If Performance Management Architect has been moved to a new host or port from the earlier release installation, then for all Performance Management Architect data source connections that point to the earlier release location, edit the connection properties to reflect the new server location. If text files used as data sources have moved to a non-default location, edit the connection properties.

You edit the data source connection information in Essbase Studio.

  To edit the properties of a data source:

  1. In Essbase Studio Console, from the Source Navigator, select the Data Sources tab.

  2. Under Data Sources in the physical tree, right-click the data source to edit and select Properties.

  3. Complete the following tasks in the Parameters section of the dialog box.

    Dimension Server sources:

    1. In Server Name, modify the name of the computer where Performance Management Architect resides.

    2. To modify the port number, ensure that the Default check box next to Port is cleared, and enter the new port number.

    3. Modify the User Name and Password for this instance of Performance Management Architect.

    Text file sources:

    1. To modify the Location of the text file data source, click Browse.

    2. In the Text File Location dialog box, select the directory that contains the text file data source you want to access.

      Note:

      You can select only one directory per data source. Essbase Studio does not support text files from different subdirectories within the same directory.

    3. Review the files listed under Contents of selected directory to ensure that this is the text file data source you want to select.

  4. Click Apply, and then click OK.

When you are done with this step, return to the Upgrading Checklist.
