Setting Up Content Manager


Content Manager manages web content, such as application templates, assembly tools, and sample data, available from the Alphablox Content Server. A set of web content items is installed with Analysis Server. Additional content may be downloaded at any time through Alphablox Application Studio.

Content Manager communicates with the Alphablox Content Server to download new or updated web content over the Internet. If an Analysis Server installation does not have Internet access, Content Server Access can be disabled. Currently installed content is still available for use, but new or updated web content is not available for download. (To enable access to the Content Server at a later date, use the Content Manager link on the Analysis Server Administration Topics page.)

If Analysis Server is installed on a network protected by a firewall, Content Manager may need to use a web proxy. Enable the web proxy by providing its host name and port number.

Content Manager creates the repository objects required by downloaded web content. For data source objects to work correctly, they must connect to a data source. The information provided below is used by newly created data source objects.

If Use AAS Username/Password is set to Yes, the defaults set in Default Data Source User Name and Default Data Source Password are overridden with the values entered when users log in to Analysis Server.
