Dashboard settings

You can activate Performance Dashboard, Management views, and PPM query interface for your client and specify the required settings.

Procedure

Context

The Installation Wizard creates an individual context for each client on the Web application server. For this, an XML file containing the configuration of the context is created under conf\catalina\localhost in the <installation directory>\ppmmashzone\server\bin\work\work_ppm_web\base directory.

A context is the main URL of an Performance Dashboard, which is specified directly after the computer name and port number, e.g., APD_umg_en.

  1. Enable the option Activate Performance Dashboard and Management views if you want to access these components with your client.
  2. Enable the option Activate PPM query interface if you want to use this interface.
  3. If required, change the name of the contexts.

Technical user

Performance Dashboard uses the access data of the technical user to log into the PPM server.

  1. Specify a user name for the user account for the client.
  2. Specify a user account password for the client and confirm it.

Data determination user

You can specify the technical user or another, additional user for data determination.

  1. Enable the option Use technical user if you want to use only the access data of the technical user for data determination.
  2. Enable the option Set up additional user if you want to set up an additional user account.
  3. Specify a user name for the user account for the client.
  4. Specify a user account password for the client and confirm it.
  5. Click Finish.

Your settings are transferred for the client and displayed in the Client overview.

The client is available in CTK for further configuration.
