1 Administration Tasks Overview

The intent of this document is to guide a Retail Analytics and Planning (RAP) Administrator to perform the recurring administrative activities for all applications you have licensed within the platform. In some cases, the details will be explained in this document, and in other cases, only the general process will be covered and details will be explained in individual applications’ Administration Guides.

Administration activities for RAP applications fall into two general categories:

• Maintenance Activities – Tasks where you will be expected to change a configuration, run a process, or update the application in some manner

• Monitoring Activities – Tasks where you will need to gather information or assess the status of an application or process, but not necessarily take any action

Each of the sections in this document will highlight the most common administrative tasks within the context of performing one or both of these activity types. If the administrative task is specific to a single application (rather than multiple applications or the entire platform) then you may follow the provided links and references to access additional information on that topic. The table below summarizes the topics covered in this document.
