Monitoring Server system requirements

Updated: 2009-04-30

The following software prerequisites must be satisfied before you install PerformancePoint Monitoring Server.

  • Either Office SharePoint Server 2007 or Windows SharePoint Services must be installed in order to successfully install and use Monitoring Server. Monitoring Server supports Excel Services as a report type and data source, but is supported only with Office SharePoint Server 2007 installed instead of Windows SharePoint Services 3.0. To review the difference between these SharePoint Products and Technologies, see Which SharePoint technology is right for you.

    The terms "Windows SharePoint Services" and "SharePoint Services" are used collectively in PerformancePoint Server documentation to refer to Office SharePoint Server 2007 and Windows SharePoint Services 3.0.

Important

Office Web Components are not supported on PerformancePoint Server 64-bit deployments. These components are 32-bit only and are not compatible with the 64-bit implementation of PerformancePoint Server even though these components may run on a 64-bit computer when 32-bit Internet Explorer hosts the Office Web Components. This is a known issue and is not supported.
