Server to allow HTTP connection

[khshankar]

Using Crystal Analysis 8.5

I am trying to Add Server in Crystal Analysis using the server option "HTTP Cube", it shows "Failed to initialize(service unavailable)". Is that I have to do any setup to make this work. Crystal Analysis and MS Analysis Manager (cube) are in different server.


Thanks,
Shankar

On the OLAP server, you need to have IIS (or personal web server) running. You then need to copy MSOLAP.ASP (as I recall it being called) into the

http://wwwroot

directory.
This is all documented somewhere in the OLAP Services documentation (sorry it's some time since I did all this now). You will probably need to do something around setting up the authentication as well although my memory is now failing badly

Once you have the IIS and OLAP server working properly, you should then enter the address of

http://MyWebServer

so that it picks up the correct location.

I believe this should work, but like I say, it's some time since I did all this now...
