Requirements

  • A private flex.bi installation that is supported on Mac OS XLinux and Windows.
  • Java SE 7 or Java SE 8 should be installed.
  • MySQL (version 5.x), PostgreSQL (version 9.x), MS SQL (version 2008 or later) and Oracle (version 11g or later) are supported as a private flex.bi database.

Installation

Ask flex.bi support to provide a download URL for the latest private flex.bi full distribution .zip file.

Unzip the downloaded full distribution .zip file in directory of your choice. It will create a flexbi_private subdirectory where all private flex.bi files will be located.

Note

On Windows there exists a length limit for the file path - 260 characters. Flex.bi has a deep nested directory structure. System full file paths may exceed this limitation if the flexbi_private directory is located deeply in a directory hierarchy. We recommended to create  flexbi_private folder directly in the root folder for Windows installations.

Note

On Windows please use a text editor that supports Unix style line endings when editing the flexbi.toml file. The standard Notepad application will not display the content of this file correctly. We recommend you use Notepad++ .

 

If you would like to add e-mail notification support (to invite users, reset passwords or receive notifications about failed import jobs) from flex.bi then provide the SMTP server information which can be used for outgoing e-mails (located in the mailer section of configuration file). In addition uncomment and specify the default_url_options section which is used to generate full URL links back to your private flex.bi server.

Note

On Linux or Mac OS X if you would like to start an application which listens to HTTP port 80 then you need to start the application as root. An alternative solution is to use a frontend web server which listens to port 80 and proxies web requests to Private flex.bi. Please contact flex.bi support if you need help with Private flex.bi setup in production mode.
