Introduction

Welcome to AnySite® v9. Users/System Administrators installing AnySite need
to read this entire document for a successful installation.

Access to data is controlled using account permissions set through the AnySite
Configurator tool, which is installed with AnySite. This allows an AnySite Adminis­trator to restrict access to sensitive data.

4 AnySite v9 Install Guide

Before You Begin

When installing AnySite, it is important to decide your installation location and deploy­ment environment.

Important If you are an existing user of AnySite (versions 8.8.X or earlier) and you
wish to retain and use your custom files, you must back up your custom files prior to
installing AnySite v9 or uninstalling your current version of AnySite. For instructions,
see Chapter 5 Upgrading Your Current Installation.

Note If you install AnySite incorrectly, you may need to remove the application
from your computer and re-install it to fix any problems. AnySite v9 will not install in
an environment where a pre-existing version of AnySite is installed. If you receive an

“Installation Interrupted” error due to a previous version of AnySite, you need to

uninstall the previous version or install the new AnySite v9 in a different environ­ment.

Product Inventory

Your copy of AnySite installs the following to your system:

 AnySite – Server and client software.
 Data Manager Tool – For importing and exporting data from the AnySite Data Engine.
 Configurator Tool – For managing AnySite system settings.
 Data – Data purchased with AnySite for market and site analysis.
 Tutorial data – Sample data provided to follow along with the AnySite tutorial.

6 AnySite v9 Install Guide

Permissions

Administrative rights to the program files directory are required for installation.
Once installed, users need read/write/modify rights to the AnySite.ini and AnySite.mdb files, which are located within the AnySite
application directory. Give users read/write/modify rights to the entire AnySite application directory.

System Requirements

Operating System:

 Windows 7 Pro with Service Pack 1 (32/64 bit)
 Windows XP Service Pack 2 or higher
 Windows Server 2003 (Standard or Enterprise) Service Pack 1

Hardware:

 Pentium IV Processor 1.x GHz or better, with 512MB of RAM (1GB or better recommended)
 15-inch monitor, with graphic accelerator card, 16 bit color or greater. Minimum of 800x600 resolution is required.

Hard Disk Space:

 Approximately 15 GB for AnySite application and national data.

Software:

 Microsoft Excel 2007 or later (recommended for Excel reports)
 Microsoft Word 2002, 2003, or later (recommended for viewing reports)

Default Install Path

The default install path is C:\Program Files\MapInfo\AnySite_XX, where XX is a two-digit country code, such as US.

The default install path on a Window 7 64-bit operating system is C:\Program Files (x86)\MapInfo\AnySite.XX, where XX is a two­digit country code, such as US.

Time/Space Considerations

The AnySite install wizard installs both the AnySite application and data (streets, demographics, and geocoder for example). The
length of time for the install will range from 1-4 hours depending on the speed of your media drive and file transfer across a net­work. The installation of AnySite cannot be stopped and restarted at a later date. Schedule enough time prior to beginning the
install process.

You have the option to install the data to a location separate from the AnySite application. The most common scenario is to install
the application and data to the same machine.

Installation Scenarios

During the install you have the option to perform a Single or a Shared setup type. A Single setup type is for a local installation
where a single user installs AnySite and the AnySite Client to a local machine. A Shared setup type is for a network installation
where multiple users on a network will access AnySite.

For questions regarding installation scenarios please contact AnySite technical support. Technical support contact information can
be found on page 3.

AnySite v9 Install Guide 7

Local Installation (Single User)

A local installation installs and runs AnySite on a single machine. Choose a local installation if only a single user is going to access
AnySite.

For optimal performance of AnySite on a local machine, install the entire application: both server and client software.

Network Installation (Shared by Multiple Users)

A network installation installs AnySite (executable and all associated files) onto a network of machines. Choose a network instal­lation if multiple users are going to access AnySite. Install AnySite from the console of the server where AnySite will reside, and
install the AnySite Client onto each user’s local machine from which they will run AnySite.

If you are installing to the network from a local machine, you must have a mapped drive to your network location. The mapped
drive is only required for the installation process. UNC (Universal Naming Convention) paths may be used to run the application
from a network. Refer to Final System Configuration in Chapter 3 on page 31.

8 AnySite v9 Install Guide

Installing and Launching

To successfully install AnySite, read this entire chapter before beginning. Refer
to Before You Begin in Chapter 2 on page 5 for pre-installation requirements and
planning.

During the installation procedure, you must make some decisions about your
installation. Please read these instructions before installing so your installation
runs smoothly.

Follow the directions for the Final System Configuration on page 31 after com­pleting the main installation. These steps are required for every installation and
will ensure that your AnySite installation is successful.

30 AnySite v9 Install Guide

Final System Configuration

Before launching AnySite for the first time, you must complete the steps in the following sections:

 Launch the Configurator

 Import Repository Transfer (ART) Files from your Data

 Cataloging System Data if Stored to a Non-Default Location

These settings are made in the Configurator, which is a utility for managing your AnySite installation.
If you installed AnySite to a network location, so that the AnySite Client is on a different machine, then perform all of
these steps on each client machine.

Determine Which ART Files to Import

Determine which ART file to import relative to the data your purchase and are licensed for. You must import the corre­sponding ART files used in the Configurator. In addition, existing clients who wish to migrate custom files should include
their custom file for importing ART files. See Chapter 5 Upgrading Your Current Installation instructions of backing-up
and migrating custom files from previous versions of AnySite.

Launching the Configurator

To launch the AnySite Configurator and complete the setup of your installation:

1. Either click the AnySite Configurator icon on your desktop or click Programs > MapInfo > AnySite XX > AnySite

Configurator in the Microsoft start menu.

2. The Login dialog opens.

Enter the default user name and password when prompted: type, Administrator for the username and leave the pass­ word blank. Click OK to proceed. Usernames are case sensitive, so make sure Administrator has a capital “A”.

The Cataloger, a utility accessible from the Configurator, will scan several settings for AnySite; you may receive a mes­ sage that the Cataloger will adjust these settings. If at a later time you receive this message, rerun the Cataloger as
described under Cataloguing System Data if Stored to a Non-Default Location on page 32.

3. The AnySite Configurator opens.

Proceed to Importing Repository Transfer (ART) Files from your Data on the next page.
After installing your license file, you must import repository transfer (ART) files, which contain reports, Thematics,
and other settings. Reports are data dependent. If you run a report and you have not purchased the accompany­ing data for the report, then a “data not licensed” message appears.

If you installed StreetPro®, then select its data directories for cataloguing. The default StreetPro location is
C:\Program Files\MapInfo\Professional X.X\SPXXXX. If you installed AnySite to a network location, so that the Any­Site Client is on a different machine, then select the AnySite installation directory (which will be a mapped drive). If
you could not use the same drive letter when mapping drives on the client machines, then you must also select the
Use UNC Paths check box.
Ensure that the Update Layer Paths check box is selected to fix any invalid paths, and then click OK.

AnySite v9 Install Guide 31

Import ART Files Using the Configurator

To import the ART files for your data in the Configurator:

1. Click Tools > Importing Preferences in the AnySite Configurator menu.

2. In the Import Preferences dialog, select the *.art file to import (according to that bundle that you purchased, as iden-
tified in the preceding table) and then click Open. You may need to select the Look in list to locate the *.art files in
the ART Files folder. The default location is C:\Program Files\MapInfo\AnySite_XX\Art Files.

3. In the Select Preferences to Import dialog, select all the preferences in the list, by pressing the CTRL key, and then
click OK.

4. Repeat these steps for each ART file to import (if you have license data outside the base demographic offering).

You have completed the system configuration and are now ready to launch AnySite, proceed to Chapter 3; page
9, Launching AnySite.

If you installed the data supplied with AnySite to a non-default location, then proceed to Cataloging System

Data if Stored to a Non-Default Location before launching AnySite.

Cataloging System Data if Stored to a Non-Default Location

If the data supplied with AnySite was installed to a non-default location, then configure to the location of the data using the Any­Site configurator as described in this section.

Shared (network) installations must install the AnySite Client before continuing. If you have not already done so, see Installing the

AnySite Client on page 28.

To catalog the data stored in a non-default location, in the Configurator:

1. Click Tools > Cataloger in the AnySite Configurator menu.

2. In the Disk Drivers to Catalog dialog, check all the drivers that contain AnySite and any additional data for use
with AnySite.

If you installed StreetPro®, then select its data directories for cataloging. The default StreetPro location is C:\Program
Files\MapInfo\Professional X.X\SPXXXX. If you installed AnySite to a network location, so that the AnySite Client is on a
different machine, then select the AnySite installation directory (which will be a mapped drive). If you could not use the
same drive letter when mapping drives on the client machines, then you must also select the Use UNC Paths check box.
Ensure that the Update Layer Paths check box is selected to fix any invalid paths, and then click OK.

Note The Update Layer Paths check box updates paths to tables that may be invalid. The Use UNC Paths

check box records the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) location to the data. UNC codes are used in net­work deployments where consistent network drive mappings for each user are not guaranteed. The Cataloger still

Updating your Custom Reports and Thematics

It will only be necessary for you to manually update the "Verbose" descriptions on reports, thematics,
Hotspots, and Capture Methods that you have customized. The underlying demographic content
(numbers) are automatically updated by the AnySite installer, the "Verbose" descriptions (2004 Total
Population) will have to be manually altered from 2004-2005 via the Configurator.
All reports, thematics, Hotspots, and Capture Methods will continue to run successfully using the
newest content from the installer. However, without importing the updated "Standard" reports and
modifying the "verbose" descriptions on your custom reports, the printed maps and reports will
continue to display the previous data vintage.

To change the vintage on custom reports:

1. Launch the AnySite Configurator. Either click the AnySite Configurator icon on your desktop
or click Programs > MapInfo > AnySite XX > AnySite Configurator from the Microsoft
Start menu.
Enter the default user name and password when prompted: type Administrator for the username
and leave the password blank. Usernames are case sensitive, so make sure Administrator has a
capital "A".
Click OK to proceed.

2. On the Preferences menu, click Reports.

3. Select your custom report, and click Edit.

4. Select a variable and modify the verbose descriptions. Click OK when you have finished.

descriptions, such as 2004, will be incorrect, or you may see NOT LICENSED on your reports.
These variables will need to be manually replaced with the newly updated data. To do this:

1. In the Configurator from the Tools menu, click Update Preferences.

2. In the Update Preferences dialog, type the vintage description in to the Search For box.

3. Select the found items to update and move them to the Replace With list by clicking the right

arrow button.

Upgrading the AnySite Client

To upgrade the AnySite Client software, run the ClientSetup.exe file located in the AnySite
installation folder (C:\Program Files\MapInfo\AnySite_XX for example).

Network clients need to be uninstalled from the client machine and reinstalled to guarantee a correct
update to the system. Follow the directions under Installing to a Network (Shared by Multiple

Users) in Chapter 3.

AnySite integrates data from several third party data vendors. There may be times when changes to
the data will affect AnySite functionality. In some cases, the best option will be to install a new
version of the application, with the new data. We are continuously working with our vendors to
establish consistent releases of the various data products to minimize these occurrences.

Performance Tuning a
Network Installation

If you selected a Shared setup type, so that multiple users can access AnySite,
then consider tuning your installation to import AnySite performance.

In this apendix:

Network Speed
Virus Scanner Software Settings

44 AnySite v9 Install Guide

Network Speed

Using a 100 Megabit network connection is optimal. Using a slower network connection affects the refresh rate when
panning or refreshing the map view.

Virus Scanner Software Settings

AnySite performance slows when virus software scans AnySite data. The performance decrease is noticeable with a net­work installation when multiple people access AnySite.
AnySite opens many data layers for display in the map view. A data layer consists of five files that AnySite launches to
display the layer. There may be 16 to 19 layers on display in the map view. AnySite queries all of the layer files when you
pan or refresh a map.
To improve performance, set the virus software to exclude the AnySite data directory from the virus scan (the
C:\Program Files\MapInfo\AnySite_XX\Data directory for example), or to exclude the following file type extensions from
the virus scan:

.tab – A MapInfo table file that describes the format of the data.
.dat – A file containing tabular data.
.map – A file that describes the graphic objects.
.id – A cross reference file that links the data with the graphic objects.
.ind – An index file for searching for map objects.
