Note to IBM customers:
DB2 OLAP Server V8.1 FixPak 1 adds Administration Services, the new administration
tool for managing and maintaining DB2 OLAP Server. Administration
Services consists of a client console (Administration Services Console)
and a middle tier server (Administration Server) that communicate directly
with OLAP servers. The Administration Services Console provides a single
point of access for viewing, managing, and maintaining the OLAP environment.
For more information, see the Essbase Administration Services Online Help.

Services installation. Open launcher.htm in this directory.

Documentation ZIP file on the Software Download page.

or typing the name of the file (without the extension) from a command prompt.
-
To untar a downloaded UNIX file:
-
Enter the following command from the temporary directory containing the
.tar file:
tar -xf filename

to complete the installation.

After the installation is complete, delete the entire temporary directory.
Notes to IBM customers:
-
On Windows, you must install Administration Services in the same directory
as DB2 OLAP Server. The Administration Services Installation Guide
incorrectly states that you can install Administration Services in any
directory.
-
During the installation on Windows clients, the Chose Shortcut Folder screen
prompts you for a location to install the product icons. Click In
