Environment

Resolution

The CABI replacement plan consists of three possible options depending on your needs.

1. Currently Broadcom offers a product for sale called DXO2 (previously known as DXOI) which offers a DX Dashboards capability that is a powerful tool for reporting and supports integration from DX UIM and other data sources.

2. Starting from DX UIM 23.4 CU5, a new API called UIM Data Services was released. This is an ODATA-based API - https://www.odata.org/ - this is an Open API standard that allows integration with other tools that support ODATA interfaces.

This will allow you to easily integrate with existing popular third-party Business Intelligence tools like Grafana or Microsoft PowerBI which you/your organization may already have licenses for. 


3. Post-CU5, we will be enhancing the existing Dashboard Designer portlet in DX UIM Operator Console to support the use of the ODATA API and renaming it as DX UIM BI.  This will be the native/built-in option for DX UIM.

On the following page there is a video at the bottom that has more information about the upcoming ODATA API Release.
