Create configuration based on Optimize

You can create a configuration for PPM based on a webMethods Optimize configuration. You can use the Create configuration based on Optimize wizard to select the relevant process type groups and process types, for which you can transfer the associated dimensions and measures from webMethods Optimize to PPM.

Each time the wizard is started, you have to specify the login data – User name and Password – for the webMethods Optimize Analytic Engine. These are not saved by CTK.

Prerequisite

You have configured the webMethods access data.

Procedure

  1. In the Properties component in the Client module, click the new_analysis Select configuration wizard button.
  2. In the Select wizard dialog, click Create configuration based on Optimize.
  3. Specify your settings and click Finish. Before you exit the wizard, you can display a brief summary of the changes to the configuration.

The configuration for PPM has been created and the customizing for the PPM client has been extended accordingly. Apart from the user name and password, the data is saved in the client properties (configuration file <Client>_CTK.xml).

The selected webMethods Optimize configuration optimize_config_download_<date and time>.xml and the PPM configuration log file optimize_config_import_<date and time>.log created have been stored in the following directory.

<PPM installation directory>/ppm/server/bin/work/data_ppm/custom/<client>/log/optimize_config

The log file contains a detailed report on the configuration created, which you can use to make changes to the configuration manually if required.
