Configuring dashboards
Install and configure the Business Space component so that dashboards work properly in the IBM® Business Monitor runtime environment.
Before you begin
You must install the product software. When you install your product, Business Space files are included with the installation for the profiles that you configured.
About this task
- DB2® Universal
- DB2 for z/OS®
- Microsoft SQL Server
- Oracle 11g
If you install IBM Business Monitor and create a stand-alone server profile, the Business Space component is installed and configured automatically.
If you have a stand-alone server environment, Representational State Transfer (REST) service endpoints are configured and enabled automatically. For other environments, use the REST services administrative console page to configure the REST services. If you want IBM Business Monitor widgets to be available, you must configure the REST service endpoints for those widgets. You must register the REST endpoints so that IBM Business Monitor associates widgets with the endpoints and the widgets appear in the palette for use.
If you are using deployment manager and custom profiles, you can use the administrative console to configure the Business Space component.
After your original setup work on the Profile Management Tool or the administrative console, you must also configure the Business Space database.
No matter what tool you used to configure the Business Space component, you must make sure that the configuration works with the security for your IBM Business Monitor environment.
What to do next
After you have installed and configured the Business Space component, users of your runtime environment can open it from the following URL: http://host:port/BusinessSpace, where host is the name of the host where your server is running and port is the port number for your server.
