Download The BI Accelerator Package

You can download BIA packages, for many different ERP platforms, directly from the www.targit.com web site.

Make sure you select the correct platform (SQL Server version) upon which you want to deploy the BIA Data Warehouse.

Extract Package; Run Accelerator

Extract executable files from the downloaded BI Accelerator package to a folder from where it can run and re-run as often as you like.

Check for Required Software

The BI Accelerator will check for software requirements according to the selected SQL server platform before proceeding to the next steps.

Required TARGIT Decision Suite

The TARGIT Decision Suite is required to complete the configuration of the TARGIT BI Accelerator. If not already installed, you can install the version that comes with the Accelerator package.

License

The Accelerator needs a license to proceed. This could be an existing license, a newly purchased license or a Demo license that is requested through the Accelerator Configuration Wizard.

Product Version; Business Areas

The Accelerator needs a license to proceed. This could be an existing license, a newly purchased license or a Demo license that is requested through the Accelerator Configuration Wizard.

Source DB and Companies

This step is for selecting the source database, in this case an AX demo database, and also for selecting what companies to include in the deployed solution.

Data Marts; Data Refresh Schedule

In the Data Mart step you select then instances on your SQL Server where you want to deploy the Relational and the Multidimensional Data Marts.
Furthermore, the Update Schedule option lets you select at what time of the day you want the solution to be automatically refreshed with new data from the source system.

Model; Table Match

The Accelerator will use a Model upon which the solution will eventually be deployed. The Model anticipates a number of tables to be available from the previously selected source database. A too low match percent may indicate a mismatch of selected product version and actual source database or a highly customized database.

Warnings

If you run the Accelerator more than once, you will be overwriting all databases, SSIS packages etc. that have previously been deployed by the tool. This is particularly harmful if, in the meantime, you have made customized modifications to the solution. Hence the Warnings page. Read the warnings and understand the consequences before proceeding.
