KB42332: How to reset the governing rules to default at the Intelligence Server level in MicroStrategy 9.x and above

INTRODUCTION:
A governor is a parameter that is used to limit a user’s access to system resources and to control the Strategy environment. The Intelligence Server checks all incoming jobs to ensure that they are in compliance with all the governors. Governors at the Intelligence Server level apply to all jobs processed by the Intelligence Server, regardless of the project. On the other hand, governors at the project level apply to all jobs submitted from the selected project, regardless of which user submitted the job. It is possible to manually reconfigure all the governing rules, one-by-one, in the Intelligence Server Configuration Editor. All governing rules can also be reset at once by creating a new Server Definition.
A server definition is a configured instance of the Intelligence Server that specifies metadata connectivity information and configuration parameters. Server definitions are created in the Strategy Configuration Wizard and are stored in the metadata and in the registry on the Intelligence Server machine.
 
ACTION:
 
To reset the governing rules at the Intelligence Server level, follow the steps below:

1. In Windows, go to All Programs > Strategy > Configuration Wizard.
2. In the Configuration wizard window, select Configure Intelligence Server and click Next.
3. Go through each step (select metadata connection and provide username/password for the administrator user).
4. In the Server Configuration > Server Definitions window, click Create New Server Definition.
5. In the Name box, provide a server definition name and click Next.
6. In the Server Configuration > Settings window, in the Port Number box, leave the default number or configure as desired.
7. Under Project to load at startup, select the check boxes to the desired projects and click Next.
8. In the Summary window, click Finish.
