What’s Next

You install Business Analytics using the Software AG Installer. See the Installing Software AG Products guide for instructions.

The post-installation tasks you must complete to allow users to start working with Business Analytics include:

1. Start the Business Analytics Server. See Start and Stop the Business Analytics Server for instructions.

2. Login to Business Analytics Hub:

a. Open Business Analytics Hub in a browser at http://localhost:8080/presto.

If you used a different port number when you installed Business Analytics or the Business Analytics Server is running on a different host, change the domain and port number appropriately.

b. Use the credentials for the default administrator account:

User name = Administrator

Password = manage

3. If you are using the default Business Analytics User Repository rather than an LDAP Directory to manage users and groups for Business Analytics, it is a good practice to change the password for this default administrator account.

a. Open your profile from the Business Analytics Hub menu bar and click My Password.

b. Enter your new password and confirm this.

c. Then click Change Password.

If you will use your LDAP Directory as the Business Analytics User Repository, this default account is disabled once LDAP configuration is complete.

4. Set up a robust database to use as the Business Analytics Repository.

Business Analytics is installed with Derby as an embedded database hosting the Business Analytics Repository for trial purposes only. The default Derby database should not be used for serious development environments or for staging or production.

See Move the Business Analytics repository to a robust database solution for instructions.

For Business Analytics database compatibility information, see .

5. If you want Business Analytics to use your LDAP Directory as the repository for user and group information, you must update configuration. See Integrate Your LDAP Directory with Business Analytics for instructions.

6. Configure the Event Service. See Event Service Configuration and Administration for instructions.

7. If you have also installed Terracotta BigMemory and received your BigMemory license, add this license to Business Analytics and configure Business Analytics to work with BigMemory. See Manage Licenses for Business Analytics, Universal Messaging and BigMemory and Configure BigMemory Servers for Business Analytics Caching and In-Memory Stores for instructions.

In addition to these required steps, there are many other optional configuration tasks you may wish to complete. See What’s Next for links to optional tasks.
