What is ACP?

  • The Analytica Cloud Player (ACP) lets you view, run, and share Analytica models via the web.
  • ACP users don’t need to install any software. They just need a web browser.
  • ACP is similar to Analytica in browse mode. It lets you view and run models, and change inputs, but it doesn’t let you edit model expressions or add variables.
  • Analytica modelers can instantly upload models to ACP from Analytica by selecting Publish to Web... from the File menu.
  • You can be sure that all users of your model via ACP have the latest version of a model and its data -- not so easy if you are distributing a model to end users to run with desktop Analytica.
  • ACP offers some user-interface and navigation styles not available in Analytica to help you can adapt your model’s user interface for convenient use on the web:

How do you use ACP?

  • You can upload your model to ACP immediately from inside Analytica. Just select Publish to Web from the File menu.
  • The first time, it will prompt you to start up an ACP account.
  • It gives you a directory for managing and starting your models in ACP.
  • Once your ACP account is set up, you can log in to ACP to access your account from a web browser.
  • You can also upload your model to ACP from the web browser. Just log in to ACP from a browser and press the Upload button at the bottom of the model directory.
  • You can email anyone a link to your ACP model, or embed the link in a web page. These users can review model, change inputs, and view outputs, but not save changes. Just log in to ACP from a browser and press the Invite button at the bottom of the model directory to generate an Invite email. The link shown in the email can be used to access the model as a guest.

  • A session is running any number of models without logging out.
    • Sessions begin when a model is run. Viewing model listings does not use a session.
    • Sessions will time out after 20 minutes of inactivity, if a different browser is used, or if the user logs out.
  • You can buy extra sessions at $25 per 25 sessions at Buy ACP Session Credits.
  • You can buy a Group account for your organization with 500 sessions for $200/month or $2000/year at Buy/Renew ACP Group Account.
  • The initial 25 sessions never expire, but monthly sessions will expire after one month.
  • Using desktop Analytica to upload files to ACP will only support files up to 35MB in size. For Group account users who want to upload files up to 100MB in size, this can be done by uploading files from the ACP browser interface.
  • CPU Minutes per calculation the maximum amount of CPU time ACP will spend evaluating the model to display a result you select, e.g., if you click a variable to display, it may time out if it takes the server more than 2 CPU minutes to evaluate. The server is shared, so 2 CPU minutes may take quite a bit more than 2 actual minutes.

A Group account or Premium Group account

  • Multiple users can collaborate on a Group account.
  • Each user has their own password.
  • Users can be Reviewers (run and read only), Authors (can also upload and delete models), or Administrators (can also set up people as Reviewers and Authors).
  • A group subscription can have multiple Projects containing a directory of models.
  • Each user can be a member of selected Projects. You can’t see models in a Project unless you are member.
  • Lumina logo at upper left corner of ACP window can be changed to your organization's logo.

ACP on Your Server

You may purchase an ACP license to install on your own server. This lets your users run more or larger models without having to share server resources with other customers. It also lets you access it via a corporate intranet and apply extra security for confidential or proprietary models and data. See ACP on your own Server

Security

ACP is a secure way to share models:

  • ACP uses a https for data transfer
  • Data input is not saved unless the user explicitly saves a snapshot of the model
  • Snapshots are private by default (although the user can change them to public)
  • When a model is uploaded or saved, it can be encrypted using the "lock and encrypt model feature"
