Microsoft BI Conference 2008

It's official! I'm now registered for the BI Conference 2008 in Seattle from October 6-8, 2008. I'm very excited about this event. It looks like there are going to be some good sessions, although I was hoping they would some MDX sessions. Looks like you have to wait for PASS Community Summit 2008 for those. The likelihood of me swinging a second trip to Seattle a month later is slim to none. If there are any other GWB members that are planning to be there, let me know. It would be great to meet up...

PerformancePoint - Resizing Parameters

One of the things that used to drive me crazy with PerformancePoint was that I could only fit two drop down parameters on the top of a dashboard. I finally found this post that explains how to adjust it. It works great. Then tonight, I was trying to do it again and I had to search forever for it, so here it is. Preserved forever. If you need to change the width of the parameter drop downs in PerformancePoint Server 2007, check out this link. http://blogs.msdn.com/perfo...

How to rename a server (continued)... With Proclarity

As I wrote about yesterday, I am in the process of building out virtual images with PerformancePoint. I figured out how to rename the server and have both SharePoint Services and PerformancePoint work (see yesterday's post.) Today, while working with the server, I realized that none of my Proclarity views were working. I tried several things and finally I gave up, uninstalled the Proclarity Analytics Server and re-installed it. This worked great in getting it up and running. Only took about 10 minutes....

How to rename a server running SharePoint and PerformancePoint

I'm in an running Virtual images for development and demos that are stand along PerformancePoint Servers. They are running Windows Server 2003, SQLServer 2005, SharePoint Services 3.0, and PerformancePoint Server. I have a development environment and a DMZ environment that can each run 5 instances of the Virtual image. To make this setup easier, we created a "gold" image that we will use as our baseline image for each of the environments. If you try to do this, what you will quickly find out is that...
