Web Environment

MicroStrategy supports two versions of Web Application (ASP.NET and J2EE). Select a version from the dropdown.

Authentication Mode

Select an option from the dropdown. Best practice is to select Standard.

User

Enter the MicroStrategy user name used by the Eagle Advanced Reporting engine. Each MicroStrategy environment has a generic user name. Contact your MicroStrategy system administrator if you do not know the user name. This user name is required, so that report requests can be validated within MicroStrategy.

If you want to run Portal queries based on MicroStrategy reports, you must have an Eagle user name and password set up in MicroStrategy. Contact your MicroStrategy system administrator for additional information. If you are only running advanced reports in PACE or Portal, you do not have to establish MicroStrategy user credentials.

Password

Enter the MicroStrategy password used by the Eagle Advanced Reporting engine. Each MicroStrategy environment has a generic password. Contact your MicroStrategy system administrator if you do not know the password. This password is required, so that report requests can be validated within MicroStrategy.

Projects

Select the MicroStrategy projects you want to access via Eagle from the Project dropdown. The list of projects comes from the MicroStrategy environment identified by the information you entered in the API Web Server field.

Eagle Project ID

A pre-assigned ID is automatically generated. You can click the pre-assigned value and change it to a custom value. The project ID is important when you migrate MicroStrategy reports. Make sure you have the same ID in both source and target environments for the migration process to take place. You can change the ID any time, even after creating reports and portal queries. If you edit and change the ID later, pace_masterdbo.egl_mstr_config_details, rulesdbo.adv_reports_mstr, and the pace_masterdbo.portal_report_mstr tables are updated.
