Abstract
The names of services and their properties on the IBM Cognos Performance Management Hub Administration and Configuration page are very technical in nature. This note documents their meaning in a more friendly way. Additionally, the note provides guidance on the possible property values.
Content
In the Performance Management (PM) Hub, configuration properties can be viewed and updated in the Administration and Configuration page, by any user who has ‘admin’ rights. These settings (listed in tables below) will apply to the PM Hub instance and the services running on it. Any updates performed on the Administration and Configuration page are saved so that if PM Hub is restarted they are still available.
The Administration and Configuration page is available at a URL similar to the following:
<font>localhost:9510/pmhub/pm/admin</font>
The following table and fields describe the property and service names on the Administration and Configuration page:
The ‘Property Technical Name’ column lists the technical property names that currently appear on the PM Hub 10.2, Administration and Configuration page.
The ‘Name’ column lists the actual property names that we would want to show instead of the technical names.
The ‘Description’ column contains the technical notes for each item.
