Options - Server/Web
In the Options
dialog box, select the Server/Web
tab to access options to configure the built-in web browser and enable/control
the operation of Statistica Enterprise Server integration with Statistica.
Statistica Enterprise Server extends the capabilities of the Statistica
platform, turning several stand-alone workstations into a powerful, enterprise-wide
collaborative-intelligence system. For an overview of Statistica Enterprise
Server technology and a description of advantages that it provides, see
Web Enablement
- Statistica Enterprise Server.
One of the key features of Statistica Enterprise Server's
client-server architecture is that it enables users to utilize server-side
resources to run multiple, possibly time-consuming or repetitive statistical
analyses (offload tasks to the server), while at the same time freeing
the local system for other tasks that require users' immediate attention.
This can be achieved either using a Web browser (thin client) or desktop
version of Statistica (thick client, Statistica Enterprise Server client).
While the former allows access to Statistica Enterprise Server from a
browser, the latter requires Statistica installation on the user’s
workstation. Statistica Enterprise Server's tight integration with the
Statistica application provides common user experience and workflow for
both client and server-side operations, a generally more feature-rich
and responsive user interface and all the additional components and tools
of desktop Statistica.
Enable Statistica Enterprise
Server Integration. Select this check box to enable optional integration
with Statistica Enterprise Server. When you click the OK
button to apply the changes, the Server
menu is displayed next to the Format
menu in Statistica (classic menus),
and the Server tab is displayed
next to the Home tab (ribbon bar).
Server Location. This group box contains the
following options:
Use Custom Settings. Select
this check box to modify server location components. Enable this mode
only if specifically instructed to do so by your network administrator.
Enable Integrated Login. If
this feature is supported and enabled on the server, selecting this check
box enables seamless authentication to Statistica Enterprise Server without
a prompt for your credentials. Otherwise, you will need to enter your
user name and password when logging on to Statistica Enterprise Server.
Login on startup. Select this
check box to automatically log on to Statistica Enterprise Server on startup.
Depending on the Enable Integrated Login
setting, you may be prompted for server-side credentials.
Host/Port/Site/Extensions. This set of edit
boxes represents the server location on the internet or local intranet.
The only required parameter is the network path to the server (Host),
which is a domain name or a UNC server name (e.g. statisticaenterpriseserver.companyname.com
or \\intranet-server without backslash symbols). The rest of these settings
are usually left to their default values. To modify Port/Site/Extensions,
select the Use Custom Settings
check box. Ask your network administrator for these values.
Browser.
Allow scripting access to Application
object. Statistica exposes a scriptable object called Statistica.ApplicationProxy
to scripts loaded by the Web pages running in its built-in Web browser.
This setting determines whether the call to retrieve the Application property
of this object succeeds (select the Yes
option button), fails (select the No
option button), or prompts the user for permission to allow access to
this property (select the Always Prompt
option button). This option is of interest to developers and the users
of custom solutions based on the Statistica platform as it allows scripting
access to the Statistica Automation interface. Your network administrator
might ask you to modify this option.
