Analytix Pre Install Checklist
Hardware
Analytix, which is an application running within the Qlikview architecture, is a memory and CPU intensive application. Each site will be unique in it requirements, but we have found, even for the smallest sites, 4 cores and 8 Gigs of RAM is the minimum.
Other configurations, as the sites get larger, could be:
| RAM | CPU Cores |
|---|---|
| 16 Gigs | 8 Cores |
| 32 Gigs | 8-16 Cores |
| 64 Gigs | 16-32 Cores |
Analytix Software
The Analytix software is installed via the AnalytixInstaller.exe. This application will install and run the actual setup program that will guide you through the installation or upgrade of Analytix.
Details on using the software is found in the Analytix Installer
Qlikview Software
Qlikview is the engine that runs Analytix.
The latest release of Qlikview can be found on the public FTP site. As of 2018 Qlikview 12.2 is the latest version.
The location on the ftp site is: ftp://ftp-mlb.newscyclesolutions.com//Mark
Licensing
If the site is on-premise, make sure that you secure the Qlikview licensing before installing the software.
ODBC Connections
You will need two connections for each instance of Analytix.
- A connection to your BI Database
- A connection to your Core Database
The default setting in Analytix is for 64 bit ODBC connections, but if for some reason you need 32 bit, this can be accomplished with a small change in the connection file.
For more information, see the Analytix Setup documentation.
Background Account on Server
Qlikview runs a number of services that need a user with administrator privileges as well as rights to access the ODBC connections.
We will need the Username and Password for this account when installing Qlikview.
On Site Training
During the on-site training for Analytix, each user should have access to Analytix during the training. The training is very interactive and it is critical that users are able to try the examples during class.
Quick Overview
Here is a quick checklist for on-premise sites.
- Download the Analytix software: ftp:/ftp-mlb.newscyclesolutions.com/Mark/CurrentRelease/AnalytixInstaller.exe
- Download the Qlikview software ftp:/ftp-mlb.newscyclesolutions.com/Mark/QlikView/CurrentRelease
- Create a service account with Admin rights. We need the username and password for the install.
- Create the ODBC connections to the BI and CORE databases. We need the login information for these databases.
