18. Necto Installation Files
Simple installation
Single machine required
Production Installation
Multiple machines required
The Installer must be run on each machine (Installer
and license file required on each machine)
20. Extract Installation Files
Once Extraction has
occurred you may be asked
to restart you machine to
proceed
Restart the machine and
continue to installation by
executing
PanoramaNectoSuite.cmd
25. Choose Installation Type
Clicking on either option will show
this prompt for the installer to
check for missing components,
before continuing
Once again you maybe asked
to restart the machine at this
point
27. Define Account for Necto Services
Account (Active Directory
e.g. domainuser) should
have administrator rights
on:
• Necto Server
• SQL Server
• OLAP Server
30. Define Account for Necto Services
Account should have
administrator rights on:
• Necto Server
• SQL Server
• OLAP Server
31. Install Other Necto servers first
Select ‘Other Necto Servers’, on the
machine that will eventually become
either the Necto Database and or the
Necto In-Memory engine machine
33. Install Other Necto Application Server
Select ‘Necto Application Server’, on the
machine that will host Necto itself.
34. Install Other Necto Application Server
On the Application Server, specify where
to look for the Necto Databases
On the Application Server, specify
where to look for the Necto In-Memory
engine or an instance of SQL 2012
Tabular
The Necto installation will
check the information you
added is correct, and
prompt you if it is not.
43. IIS Post-Install Configuration
In IIS, validate that Necto virtual directories and applications:
Are set to use ASP.NET 3.5
ASP.NET Impersonation is disabled
Make sure that “Windows Authentication” is installed and
enabled
45. IE Security Configuration - for each Client
Station
Disable IE Enhanced Security Configuration
Add Panorama Website to Trusted Sites
Necto
Server
Web
46. Validating Installation
Open Necto Web UI
Connect to a Data source
Create your first Workboard (Check the data for
validity)
Optional configuration – customers may prefer to use their own SQL server for ease of maintenance and backup
Using UDC (Universal Data Connector) involves heavy calculations. It is therefore recommended that the Necto database and analytics be performed and stored on a separate server. You can host the Necto In-Memory Engine on the same server as the Necto DB’s or separate
Microsoft Analysis Services 2005, 2008/2008R2 and 2012 SP1 are supported by Necto
Analysis Services 2000 is not supported
OLAP must be in same domain as Necto server.
During the installation, Panorama creates 4 databases (their number depends on number of components installed) on the SQL server. SQL can be either on same machine with Panorama or a remote server.
When the intended SQL is located on a remote server, make sure that the user that runs the installation has sufficient permissions to create the databases on remote SQL server.
Starting from version 14, Panorama will only work with SQL 2012 SP1 or higher (as SQL repositories for the internal databases. This does not relate to the datasource, i.e., the OLAP cubes). Note: SQL Server AS 2000 will no longer work.
NET Framework 3.5
Microsoft Core XML Services (MSXML) 6.0 or 4.0
Microsoft SQL Native Client
Microsoft SQL Client ComponentsWhen Analysis Services server is remote to the Panorama server, the relevant connectivity driver must be installed:
Microsoft 2005 SQL/OLAP ADOMD.NET 9.0 for Analysis Services 2005
Microsoft 2008 SQL/OLAP ADOMD.NET 10.0 for Analysis Services 2008
Microsoft 2012 SQL/OLAP ADOMD.NET 11.0 for Analysis Services 2012
You must be logged in as an administrator on the Necto Server when performing the installation.
Panorama will require a user that is running the Necto services. Prior to the installation, please make sure that you have credentials of a single user which meet these demands:
An administrator on the Necto machine (My Computer -> Manage -> Local User and Groups -> Groups -> Administrators; add the user to this group).
An administrator on the SQL server (Verify this by going to SQL Server Management -> Security -> Server Roles -> examine the membership of the sysadmin role).
An administrator on the OLAP server (Verify this by going to SQL Server Management -> Right-click on the server name -> Properties -> Security -> Add the user to the list of users).
Ports that should be opened:
Port 4444 - for Panorama website (this is default by installation, but can be changed, though not recommended). Make sure port 4444 is not blocked by firewall or third-party software; if you are unable to open this port, please consult Panorama Knowledgebase for information about changing the port.
Port 2383 for connection to Analysis Services
Ports 9985, 9999, 9961 for Panorama services.
Port checking can be done using this link: http://www.wfu.edu/~borwicjh/howto/port-test.htm
Arc GIS open access is required so that you can access the mapping information database, polygons and the maps themselves.
This includes opening access through proxy gateways etc.
Before you begin the installation, make sure you have:
The archive containing the Necto installation files
A license file provided by Panorama support.
As with all files imported from the internet the files security level will be set to high, to reduce this, right click on the file and select properties, then click the ‘Unblock’ button and then ‘Ok’, this will allow you to run the program without security prompts.
You may be asked to disable the Windows Update service, which you must do to continue the installation
Make sure you agree to the license terms if not stop the installation.
You should be running this installation on the Database machine and or Necto In-Memory machine at this point as this is a production installation we require that separate machines are used to split the workload.
Point to the server instance you installed the Necto DB’s upon, alternatively you can install the Necto DB’s on the Application Server using SQL Express by marking the check box
For the In-Memory engine point to the Server instance you installed the In-Memory engine upon or point to an SQL 2012 SP1 Tabular model instance. If you are not using the In-Memory modeling leave this item (Necto In-Memory Engine Server) blank.
As with all files imported from the internet the files security level will be set to high, to reduce this, right click on the file and select properties, then click the ‘Unblock’ button and then ‘Ok’, this will allow you to run the program without security prompts.
The installer knows where your current license file is if it’s ok then use that, but you need a new one to upgrade from Necto x.x to Necto 14.1, if so locate this in your machine
We take a backup of the current files just incase you need to reference anything or recover later
Do the actions described in this section after you have restarted the server.
Make sure all Panorama virtual directories in the IIS are set to use ASP.NET 3.5
Disable the ASP impersonation
a. Open IIS.b. On the Default Web Site, select “Authentication”:
c. Disable the ASP impersonation:
Make sure it is disabled for all Panorama Virtual Directories and Applications.
Make sure the “Windows Authentication” is installed and enabled
