There are two ways to access the Diagnostics Configuration Editor, depending on
where you are using MicroStrategy Desktop in relation to MicroStrategy Server:
• If MicroStrategy Server is running on a remote machine, you can only access
the editor from the Tools menu by choosing Diagnostics. Any changes you
make will not take effect until the server is restarted.
• If MicroStrategy is running on the local machine, you can access the editor
from the Administration menu by choosing Diagnostics Configuration. In
this case, your changes will take effect immediately.
