The Anteros Ambassador Active-X Excel plug-in can only be installed while connected to the Integrated Operational Planning server. Although the Ambassador is third-party software, Oracle does not have an install package or executable for the plug-in. Therefore, each new Integrated Operational Planning client PC that is deployed must complete the following steps:
In order to install and run the Active-X control for Excel, connect to the Integrated Operational Planning server while logged on to the computer using a Windows or domain account with local administrative or power user privileges.
Perform an analysis on a new or existing scenario to load the Ambassador plug-in.
Close the analysis session, log out of the PC, and then log back in as a member of the local group.
Connect to the Integrated Operational Planning server and perform the analysis as usual.
After you complete these steps, the Ambassador plug-in for Excel will launch.
