Before starting services, ensure that all required network resources are available to the services. For example, Interactive Reporting services may need to create job output on printers or file directories belonging to network hosts other than where the services are running. These connections must be established before Interactive Reporting services can start.
For Windows, a service may need to log on as a user account rather than as the local system account to establish connections to shared resources on the network. ODBC data sources must be configured as system data sources rather than user data sources. Consult with the site’s network administrators to configure the correct environment.
For UNIX platforms, all necessary environmental settings should be made prior to starting services. Consult with the site’s network administrators to create the necessary software configuration.
Regardless of your method for starting Reporting and Analysis services, you must first start the repository database.
