Before you configure the Analyst Service, you can complete the prerequisite tasks for the service. You can also choose to complete these tasks after you create an Analyst Service.
Perform the following tasks before you configure the Analyst Service:
Create and enable the associated Data Integration Services, Model Repository Service, and Metadata Manager Service.
Identify a directory for the flat file cache to upload flat files.
Identify a directory to export a business glossary.
Identify a keystore file to configure the Transport Layer Security protocol for the Analyst Service.
Optionally, create a database to store audit data for the exception management tasks that the Analyst Service identifies.
