Install Management Reporter
Use this procedure to install Management Reporter. If you install other Microsoft Dynamics AX components at the same time, the installation pages vary, depending on the components that you are installing.
Start Microsoft Dynamics AX Setup. Under Install, select Microsoft Dynamics AX components.
Advance through the first wizard pages.
If the Setup Support files have not yet been installed on this computer, the Select a file location page is displayed. The Setup Support files are required for installation. Provide a file location or accept the default location, and then click Next. On the Ready to install page, click Install.
If you’re installing AX 2012 R3, in the Select an installation option page, click Microsoft Dynamics AX.
On the Select installation type page, click Custom installation, and then click Next.
On the Select components page, select Management Reporter, and then click Next.
On the Connect Management Reporter to an AOS instance page, enter the name, TCP/IP port, and services endpoint port of the instance of Microsoft Dynamics AX Application Object Server (AOS) to use together with Management Reporter. By default, AOS uses port 2712 for TCP/IP communication and port 8201 for the services endpoint.
Click Next.
On the Connect Management Reporter to a database page, select the server name and database where Microsoft Dynamics AX transaction data is located. Reporting will be enabled for the database that you select. The Management Reporter database will also be created on the selected server.
Click Next.
On the Select a service account page, enter the account to run the Management Reporter Windows service, and then click Next.
On the Configure Management Reporter page, enter the following information:
The port number that the Management Reporter application server uses for communication. By default, the application server uses port 4712.

The name of the data mart database.
Click Next.
On the Configure an integration user page, enter information about the user account that is used to integrate data between Management Reporter and Microsoft Dynamics AX. If the user does not already exist in Microsoft Dynamics AX, select Create new account. The user will be added, and the Microsoft Dynamics AX user ID will be AxIntUsr. If the user already exists in Microsoft Dynamics AX, select Use existing account, and enter a user ID. Click Next.
On the Prerequisite validation results page, resolve any errors. For more information about how to resolve prerequisite errors, see Check prerequisites. When no errors remain, click Next.
On the Ready to install page, click Install.
After the installation is completed, click Finish to close the wizard.
Note
The Setup wizard installs Management Reporter in two phases. First, the Management Reporter software is installed. Then, Management Reporter is configured to connect to Microsoft Dynamics AX. If the Setup wizard reports a failure, we recommend that you run the Management Reporter Configuration Console to complete the configuration.
After you install Management Reporter
After installation, you must open the Report Designer client and enter registration keys. After you have entered registration keys, additional configuration might be required before you can add report viewers or users. For information about how to configure Management Reporter, see the Management Reporter Installation Guide.
Management Reporter is available to Microsoft Dynamics AX users based on role membership in Microsoft Dynamics AX. For information about how Management Reporter integrates with Microsoft Dynamics AX, see the Management Reporter Integration Guide for Microsoft Dynamics AX (PDF).
