Installing Reporting and Analytics

  1. If you are installing Reporting and Analytics on different drive than Portal WebLogic AdminServer, change the drive letter for the following properties in the server microsConfig.properties file on Portal WebLogic AdminServer and then redeploy the portal using the WebLogic Admin server console:

    myInsightRootDir=Drive:/myMicros/myInsight

    reportDefPath=Drive:/myMicros/myInsight/org

    mySecureDocXDir=Drive:/myMicros/myInsight/secureMyDocX (if you are using the docViewer portlet)

  2. Extract the following from the installation file archive. Do not extract the files to a folder structure that contains spaces.

    /Weblogic/

    Install_version.exe

  3. Double-click Install_version.exe.
  4. On the Choose Install Folder page, enter the installation path or click Choose to select the installation path.
  5. On the Before We Begin page, select Yes or No for the questions shown to help the installation wizard understand your installation environment. The selections do not affect whether or not the wizard installs the selected modules, but the selections allow you to enter database connection information for the selected modules.
    1. For Would you like to install or upgrade a database with this installation for either myMicros or iCare?, select No.
    2. For Will different features connect to the myMicros Database using different database IP Addresses, select Yes if you expect to use more than one IP or database service name to connect to the Enterprise Back Office database. For example, select Yes in an Oracle Real Application Cluster (RAC) environment that does not use a virtual IP and when features such as Remote Transfer Agent connect to a different node. If you select No, you can still modify the connection strings, but you cannot view individual database information screens by feature.
  6. On the Use existing Portal configuration page:
    1. If you want to install with a clean set of configurations, select No to install and configure a new installation set.
    2. If you are performing an upgrade and want to keep old settings, select Yes to use existing configurations. You can then select whether to configure the feature set on the Additional Features page.
  7. On the Choose Install Set page, select Portal Managed Server.
  8. On the WebLogic Info page, configure the application server settings:

    • root\temp\MMInstaller.log

    • root\myMicros\Uninstall_myMicros\Logs\myMicros_Install_datetime.log

    2. Click Environment from the menu, and then click Servers.
    3. Start the HOSTNAME_appServ1 service, where:
      • HOSTNAME is the name of the host server.
