PerformancePoint Server protocol handler
Updated: 2009-04-09
The PerformancePoint Server protocol handler enables PerformancePoint Server users to open planning assignments through hyperlinks. This protocol handler is automatically installed on every client computer where the PerformancePoint Add-in for Excel is installed.
The PerformancePoint Server protocol handler is automatically registered when PerformancePoint Add-in for Excel is installed and appropriate registry keys are created.
Note
When you uninstall PerformancePoint Server, it is automatically unregistered, but the registry keys are not removed. They must be manually removed.
During installation, the following lines are added to the registry:
When the protocol handler is registered for the computer :
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\PerformancePoint]
@="URL:PerformancePoint Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\shell\open\command
@="C:\Program Files\Microsoft OBA\Excel Client\ PerformancePointProtocolHandler.exe %1"
When the protocol handler is registered for the user :
Everything is the same as above, except that HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT above is replaced by HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes.
The location of the protocol handler depends on the location of the PPSProtocolHandler.exe file.
