Configuring the WebSTATISTICA Server for Network Shares

If you are upgrading a WebSTATISTICA Server that has been set to run as another user (e.g., when storing WebSTATISTICA Enterprise reports on a network share), you will need to reconfigure the WebSTATISTICA service and DCOM identity settings upon completing the upgrade to allow WebSTATISTICA access to network shares.

You can change the user assigned to the WebSTATISTICA service from the Log On tab in the Properties dialog for this service.

You will also need to configure the user that the STATISTICA instances run as to match the user that the WebSTATISTICA service has been changed to. The first step is to run dcomcnfg.exe. This program can be started from the Run dialog. If you receive any DCOM Configuration Warning prompts on startup, click No.

On the Component Services dialog, navigate in the tree view to Console Root > Component Services > Computers > My Computer > DCOM Config. Under the DCOM Config node, locate the StatSoft WebSTATISTICA Job Server entry. Right-click on this item and select Properties. Select the Identity tab. Select the This user option and enter the appropriate login information to match what was configured for the WebSTATISTICA service.

Once these steps are completed, restart the WebSTATISTICA service.
