• The operating system on the server must be Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or later.
• The latest available Service Packs should be installed for the operating system.
• Note – for demonstration purposes the Jet Data Manager can be installed on a desktop or laptop
running Windows XP or later.
Confirm the Server has Internet
Access
Confirm the SQL server
components are installed
with the latest service packs
• This is required to install the Jet Data Manager
• Standard or Enterprise version of SQL Server 2005 or later must be installed with the latest service
packs.
• If using SQL 2008, backwards compatibility tools are required
• If using SQL 2008 R2, this KB might be needed http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2315727/
• The following components must be installed:
• Database Engine
• Integration Services (SSIS)
• Analysis Services (SSAS)
Check whether SQL Server is 32bit or 64-bit
• Note – this step can be skipped for NAV databases hosted on Native NAV servers.
• A 32-bit machine will be running 32-bit version of SQL Server.
• A 64-bit machine may be running either 32-bit or 64-bit version of SQL Server.

• The latest version of Microsoft .NET Framework (v4.0 or later) must be installed
• This may be available at
• http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=9cfb2d51-5ff4-4491-b0e5b386f32c0992
• This login needs to have sysadmin rights on the SQL server.
• This login needs to have db_owner role or Super (Data) rights on the Dynamics NAV database.
• A best practice is to set up a utility user that is part of the domain and serves to run the
scheduled updates as well as make changes in the Jet Data Manager.
• The “Log On As” properties for SSAS and SSIS must be set to be the same Local System
Administrator as will be used when installing the Jet Data Manager (ideally the utility user defined
in the previous step). These services can’t be running as “Network” or “Local” services.
• The Database Engine, Integration Services (SSIS) and Analysis Services (SSAS) must be started
Details
For Native NAV servers – Confirm
that the ODBC driver has been
installed and properly configured
• Note – this step is only required for NAV databases on Native servers
For Dynamics AX Installations –
Ensure sufficient privileges in AX
• Make sure you have sufficient privileges in AX to access the Application Object Tree (AOT)

14) Review the list of Updated Tables and Fields.
The downloaded project was based on the tables and fields in a Cronus demo
database. Your database will include different tables and fields. Usually these
differences will not impact the deployment or performance of the project. If all the
fields are red this signifies that a prior step was missed.
15) Select OK
16) Select Project and Manual Deployment and Execution
This step generates the Data Warehouse and Cubes.
This step will take a few minutes to a few hours to execute depending primarily on
the size of the database and the speed of the server and connections.
If you encounter errors at this point please refer to Jet Report’s support site at

14) Review the list of Updated Tables and Fields.
The downloaded project was based on the tables and fields in a Contoso demo database. Your
database will include different tables and fields. Usually these differences will not impact the
deployment or performance of the project. If all the fields are red this signifies that a prior step
was missed.
15) Select OK
16) Select Project and Manual Deployment and Execution
This step generates the Data Warehouse and Cubes.
This step will take a few minutes to a few hours to execute depending primarily on the size of
the database and the speed of the server and connections.

OLAP Security is defined within the Jet Data Manager.
By default the user ID which was used to create the project in the Data Warehouse has
access to the Cube data from Excel. Permission must be granted to all other user IDs to
allow access.
The steps to setting security involve:
•
•
•
•
•
•
Creating and adding users to a role
Database dimension vs Cube dimension
Configuring user rights for a specific cube
Configuring user rights for multiple cubes
Configuring user rights for named dimensions
Configuring user rights for combined security

Once an OLAP cube and Data Warehouse has been deployed, users will want to connect
to these data sources from Jet Essentials to create reports. As a pre-requisite, users will
need to have Jet Essentials installed.
Creating a connection to an OLAP Cube
The user must have OLAP security permissions to be able to access cube data.
From the Jet Reports Ribbon select Data Source Settings, then Add, type a name for the Data
source (e.g. Jet Cubes) and select the type “Cube”
Type in the name of your OLAP Server, select a database and click OK
Creating a connection to a Data Warehouse
The process is the similar, however you need to select the type “Jet Data Warehouse” instead.

Your project can be scheduled to automatically update with the most recent information from your data source. This update will
refresh the data in your Cubes, Data Warehouse and Staging Database.
The update strategy outlined in these slides will have the entire project be refreshed every night. This is one of the simplest and
the most common update strategy used.
During the time that the Cubes are being refreshed they will not be available to the users.
Prior to setting up an Execution package the first time you will need to start the Jet Data Manager Server Scheduler service.
There are three steps to create an Execution package:
1) Define Notifications - Notifications are a way to send an email to advise a whether the project has successfully
executed on schedule.
2) Define Execution Package– All or part of the project can be updated in a package. Sophisticated update strategies may
include multiple Execution packages
3) Schedule

During the installation process there is a service installed on the local machine that controls the execution packages. These execution packages handle the regular
updates made to the data warehouse and the cubes. To configure the service, open the Services window for the server. This can generally be accessed through the
Start menu by typing Services in the search bar and selecting Services from the list that is returned.
Right click the Jet Data Manager Server Scheduler
service and select “Properties”.
On the General tab the
Startup Type should be set to
“Automatic (Delayed Start)”.
If this is not available due to
older versions of Windows
Server then “Automatic”
should be selected.
Select the Log On tab, click the
button for This account, and
enter a service account and
password.
Right click the Jet Data Manager Server
Scheduler service and click Start. The
service should start normally
If you receive a message that the service started and then stopped the most common cause is that the JDM configuration files have not been created for service
account that was specified to start the service.
The solution is to log on to the server using this service account, open the Jet Data Manager, and point to the project repository when prompted. This will create the
configuration files required by the service account. You can now log off and log back on as the original user. You should now be able to Right click the Jet Data
Manager Server Scheduler service and click Start. The service should start normally properly start the service.
