Running the installer

You can install the Aggregation Framework and user interface features for Online Marketing Explorer using the installer.

Before you begin

Before running the installer you need to have created the Aggregation database. The installer will prompt you for details about the database and database user credentials.

About this task

If you have one or more Content Manager Servers configured to get data from a single Content Manager database, you need to install the Aggregation Framework on one of these machine—or on a separate machine—and then configure the connection to the Tridion Aggregation Service (part of the Aggregation Framework). Install the Online Marketing Explorer (GUI) on one or more of these Content Manager Servers. For more information, read Scaling Online Marketing Explorer.
