3.5 Installing Dynamic Query Analyzer

Dynamic Query Analyzer (DQA) is a troubleshooting application that analyzes the query logs

generated by dynamic cube query requests. It provides a straightforward graphical interface

to help you understand and analyze queries for further performance tuning.

Dynamic Query Analyzer can be installed on Microsoft Windows or on Linux. It also is

available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. For the purpose of this book, only the Microsoft

Windows 64-bit version is described. The Microsoft Windows 32-bit version uses exactly the

same installation method, except that the default location is different.

If you want to install the Linux version of the Dynamic Query Analyzer, see the installation

guide that is included with IBM Cognos 10.2.

3.5.1 Dynamic Query Analyzer installation requirements

DQA can be installed locally on, or remotely from, your IBM Cognos BI Server. The

installation folder can be independent or shared with other IBM Cognos software

components; there are no inherent dependencies like Framework Manager and Cognos Cube

Designer. Consult the Dynamic Query Analyzer Installation and Configuration Guide 10.2.0

for available configuration options:
