Install PI Analysis Service

Before you begin, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:

• The computer on which you are installing PI Analysis Service meets all system requirements.

• PI AF server is installed. A connection to PI AF server is required. We recommend that additional individual features are added after PI AF server has been fully installed and configured.

• The PI Server install kit is used to install PI Analysis Service. This section provides details on installing PI Analysis Service through the install kit.

1. Go to the directory where you downloaded the PI Server install kit, and double-click the setup file to launch the installation.

   The Welcome window appears.

2. Click Next.

   The Feature Selection window appears.

   

   The PI Server install kit provides a simple and easy-to-use UI that provides selectable Server Roles to choose from for your installation. These Server Roles automatically select the PI components necessary to install a typical deployment of the PI Server feature you select. Alternatively, you can click the Individual Features tab to manually select and customize your installation of any PI Server feature(s) to meet your deployment requirements.

3. In the Server Roles tab, select PI Analysis Service.

   A list of components to be installed is displayed in the Summary panel.

4. Click Next.

   The AF Server window appears.

5. Enter the PI AF server name to associate with PI Analysis Service.

6. Click Next to proceed with the setup.

   The Service Accounts window appears.

7. Specify the service account for PI Analysis Service.

   Select the default account NT SERVICE\PIAnalysisManager or specify a different service account. If the AF Server is remote to PI Analysis Service, use a domain account or a Managed Service Account since the service account credentials will be mapped to the PI Analysis identity on the AF Server. If your computer is in a Workgroup, the installation must be run silently and additional steps may be required to guarantee that PI Analysis Service has access to AF Server. Since PI Analysis Service needs read permissions for input PI points as well as write permissions for output PI points, a domain account or Managed Service Account may be needed to configure Windows integrated security for Data Archive.

8. Click Next to proceed with the setup.

   The Summary window appears, listing the selected features and version numbers scheduled for the installation.

9. Click Install to install the PI AF server.

   The Installation Progress window opens.

   The Complete window opens when the installation is complete.

   Note: If you cancel the installation before it is complete, the PI AF SQL database might have already been created and you will need to remove the database manually.

10. Click Close.
