There are three components to the Planning module within PerformancePoint
Server 2007: one server component and two client components. The server
component is called the Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007 Planning
Server. The client components are Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007
Planning Business Modeler and Microsoft Office PerformancePoint Server 2007
PerformancePoint Add-in for Excel. This chapter will cover all three components in
detail, starting with the administration of the Planning Server.
Planning Administration Console
The initial setup and administration of the PerformancePoint Server 2007 Planning
Server, or just Planning Server for short, is done through the Planning Administration
Console. This is a web-based administration console that can be used to administer
multiple Planning Servers. In the examples used throughout this chapter, the name
of the server hosting the Planning module is PerfPointServer. To access the Planning
Administration Console, the developer would open Internet Explorer and go to
the web site http://
:46788/. In our example, the web site would be
http://perfpointserver:46788/, as shown in Figure 7-1. The port number, 46788, is the
default TCP port for the Planning Administration Console. The default port number
can be changed by going to the properties of the PPSPlanningAdminConsole web site
within the Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
The left pane of the main administration console web site contains links to various
aspects of server administration.
