Prerequisites for Using HAT
Microsoft® BizTalk® Server Health and Activity Tracking (HAT) installs with the BizTalk Administrative tools. However, before you can run HAT, you need to install a number of programs and components on each computer that will run it.
Whether you are using HAT on a computer that has a complete or a custom installation of BizTalk Server, or a computer that is accessing remote BizTalk databases, the following programs must be installed.
On servers hosting BizTalk Server
- Microsoft Office 2000 Web Components (OWC), version 10.0.05722 or higher.
Note BizTalk Server does not automatically install OWC.
- SQL Server Agent must be installed and running on all computers that are hosting BizTalk MessageBox databases.
On SQL Servers and Analysis Servers
- SQL Server Analysis Server. This component is included in the Microsoft® SQL Server™ 2000 Installation CD.
- SQL Server Analysis Server SP2.
- Microsoft Office 2000 Web Components (OWC), version 10.0.05722 or higher.
To use HAT, you must have permissions to access the SQL Server, Analysis Server and to the virtual directory.
When you run the BizTalk Configuration Wizard after installation, you must create an Analysis Server database.
About Office 2000 Web Components (OWC)
Sort Ascending, Sort Descending, Field List, and Copy are interactive Office 2000 Web Components (OWC) functions. You must have Microsoft Office XP or higher installed to interactively use the OWC on the HAT views. Without Office XP or higher installed, the OWC runs in "Viewer" mode which does not allow interactive use.
If you attempt to access HAT without OWC installed, you will receive the following message:
ActiveView.ColumnAxis is null or not active
When you access data from a domain other than the one from which the Web page originates, OWC displays a cross domain warning message. To avoid this message in Internet Explorer when accessing a HAT view, you can add the HAT Web site to your Trusted Sites.
Installing HAT on multiple computers
You can install the HAT client on a computer that is not running BizTalk Server. However, when you configure a client-only installation, you are required to join a group. Make sure that you join the group on the BizTalk Server computer that contains the databases with which you will work.
All the HAT functionality will be available on the client computer.
