Dashboard Hub overview
As an administrator, use the Dashboard Hub to export and import individual dashboards between Dashboard Application Services Hub instances, often from test instances to live environments.
Important:
- The Dashboard Hub Export option is used to export new or customized dashboard pages and not custom connections, custom catalogs, custom widgets, transformations, or custom roles that might be used by the dashboard pages. If you need to export these resource types used by a dashboard page, use the consolecli Export command instead. For more information, see: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEKCU_1.1.2.0/com.ibm.psc.doc_1.1.2.0/tip_original/rtip_cli_export_page.html
- The Dashboard Hub Import option uses a default backup directory. To specify a custom backup directory, use the consolecli Import command. For information on the consolecli Import command, see: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEKCU_1.1.2.0/com.ibm.psc.doc_1.1.2.0/tip_original/rtip_cli_import.html.
- The Import option imports a fixed set of plugins, see DASH_HOME/plugins/temp_include_import.lst. You cannot exclude any of the specified plugins. If you need more flexibility, use the consolecli Import command.
- By default, the Import option includes connections.
To exclude connections, use the following command:
consolecli.sh Import [--includePlugins||--excludePlugins plugin1, plugin2, plugin3][--settingFile setting_filename]
[--backupDir backup_dir] --includeConnections false
consolecli.bat Import [--includePlugins||--excludePlugins plugin1, plugin2, plugin3][--settingFile setting_filename]
[--backupDir backup_dir] --includeConnections false
