Welcome to the Crystal Analysis Installation Guide.
Crystal Analysis lets you create and view analytic
applications on the desktop. Using Crystal Enterprise, you
can also publish analytic applications for web distribution.
Crystal Analysis Installation Guide1
About this guide
About this guide
This guide provides you with information about installing Crystal Analysis,
including detailed descriptions of the installation modes.
This guide also explains how to extend an existing Crystal Enterprise installation
to enable it to distribute analytic applications. You must install some server
components to enable Crystal Enterprise to distribute analytic applications.
You do not need to install Crystal Enterprise on the local machine to distribute
analytic applications. You can use Crystal Enterprise on any computer in the
network, as long as you have installed the server components to that computer.
In this guide we assume that you have already installed Crystal Enterprise. For a
description of the Crystal Enterprise components and installation instructions, see
the Crystal Enterprise Installation Guide.
The main product CD also includes some sample data for the tutorials.
Target audience
This guide is intended for the designers of analytic applications. You need
administrator rights to install Crystal Analysis and Crystal Enterprise.
If your installation of Crystal Enterprise uses a UNIX web server, you will need
appropriate privileges to stop and start the web server. You will also need write
permission on the Crystal Enterprise installation directory. Depending on how
your site is set up, this may require superuser (root) privileges.

About Crystal Analysis2
This chapter describes the components of Crystal Analysis
and provides several installation scenarios to help you
decide which installation is right for your organization.
Crystal Analysis Installation Guide7
Crystal Analysis components
Crystal Analysis components
A full Crystal Analysis installation consists of the following components:
• Application Designer
• Crystal Analysis Add-In
• Crystal Management Server (CMS) Add-on
• Web Component Server (WCS) Add-on
• Rich Client
• Web Server Support
The first two are client components. The remaining four are server components,
although the Rich Client is a special case; it is an ActiveX control that is copied from
server to client computers when a user first tries to view an analytic application
that has been configured to use it. Most of the server components extend an
existing Crystal Enterprise installation so that you can publish analytic
applications to the Web.
Client components described
Application Designer
The Application Designer enables you to design analytic applications. If you
distribute these applications as CAR files, users will require the Application
Designer to view them. Alternatively, you can publish applications using Crystal
Enterprise. Users can then view applications in a Web browser.
Four Application Designer Experts are also included, to help you create some
standard business analytic applications. You choose the type of application to
create, then the Expert guides you through the steps involved in creating the
application.
Crystal Analysis Add-In
The Crystal Analysis Add-In is a component that allows you to use Microsoft®
Excel™ to view and analyze OLAP data. If you choose to install the add-in, it
automatically becomes available for use when you next start Excel.
Server components described
These components extend an existing Crystal Enterprise installation so that you
can publish analytic applications to the Web. The complexity of the installation
depends on the Crystal Enterprise installation.
For a description of the Crystal Enterprise components and installation
instructions, see the Crystal Enterprise Installation Guide.
8Crystal Analysis Installation Guide
2: About Crystal Analysis
Web Component Server Add-on
This add-on enables the Crystal Enterprise Web Component Server to distribute
analytic applications. You must install this on the server(s) on which the Web
Component Server is installed.
CMS Add-on
This add-on enables analytic applications to be published to the Crystal Enterprise
CMS. You must install this on the server on which the CMS is installed.
Rich Client
The Rich Client is automatically copied to a user’s computer when they first try to
view an analytic application that has been configured to use it. It provides an
alternative to the Zero Client when viewing applications over the Web. You must
install the Rich Client on the web server computer.
Web Server support
This add-on provides a Crystal Enterprise Web Connector for analytic
applications. You must install this on the server on which the Web server is
installed.
Component installation configurations
Here are some scenarios to help you choose the configuration that is best for your
organization.
Scenario 1: Viewing applications in a browser
Users can view analytic applications in a Web browser, using either the Zero Client
or the Rich Client (Windows only).
Scenario 2: Viewing applications on the desktop
Users can view analytic applications on the desktop. You must install the
Application Designer on each user’s computer. A “Desktop Client” installation
installs all the client components on one computer. See “Desktop Client” on
page 14.
Note: Users also needs access rights to the cubes used in the applications and to
PTS, if connecting to MS OLAP.
Crystal Analysis Installation Guide9
Component installation configurations
Scenario 3: Designing applications
Users can design analytic applications on their local computers. You must perform
a “Desktop Client” installation to install all the client components on each user’s
computer. See “Desktop Client” on page 14.
Scenario 4: Designing and publishing applications
Users can design analytic applications on their local computers and publish them
to the Web. You must install all the Crystal Analysis client components on each
user’s computer and extend an existing Crystal Enterprise installation by adding
the server components.
To extend an existing Crystal Enterprise Express installation, install the server
components on the Crystal Enterprise Express computer. Crystal Enterprise
Express installs all of its components on one computer.
Because Crystal Enterprise Professional enables you to perform a Custom
installation, the CMS, WCS and Web connectors may be installed on different
computers. To extend an existing Crystal Enterprise Professional installation,
install each server component (CMS Add-on, WCS Add-on and Web server
support) to the corresponding server(s).
Note: The WCS computer also needs access rights to the cubes used in the
applications.
Crystal Analysis and Crystal Enterprise Express on one computer
If you want to install Crystal Analysis on the same computer as Crystal Enterprise
Express, do one of the following:
• Carry out a Complete installation.
• Carry out a full Custom installation.
• If a Desktop Client installation has already been carried out, add the server
components. See “Adding or Removing Components” on page 25.
Crystal Analysis and Crystal Enterprise Express on different
computers
If you want to install Crystal Analysis on a different computer to Crystal
Enterprise Express, do the following:
• On the Crystal Analysis computer, perform a “Desktop Client” installation to
install the client components.
• On the Crystal Enterprise Express computer, perform a “Web Components”
installation to install the server components.
10Crystal Analysis Installation Guide
Crystal Analysis and Crystal Enterprise Professional
To install Crystal Analysis to work with a custom Crystal Enterprise Professional
installation, you may need to perform several installations:
• On the Crystal Analysis computer, perform a Desktop Client installation to
install the client components.
• On each computer that has Crystal Enterprise Professional components
installed, perform a Custom installation to install the relevant server
components.
Note: You can also use a Custom installation to install the components that you
need. For example, if you want to install Crystal Analysis to a computer that has
the WCS installed, you do not need to perform a Desktop Client installation.
Instead, you can use a Custom installation to install Crystal Analysis and the WCS
Add-on at the same time.
See “Desktop Client” on page 14, “Web Components” on page 14 and “Custom”
on page 15.
Minimum system requirements
Crystal Analysis has the following minimum installation requirements.
Drill through is currently only available when running Microsoft SQL Server 2000
Analysis Services and a Microsoft SQL Server 2000 data source. However, Crystal
Holos supports drill-through for base-level members.
For a list of supported platforms, see the file
