Products

Issue/Introduction

How can I add a CABI Custom Dashboard to the Operator Console /Report page? 

Environment

Release : 20.3

Component : UIM OPERATOR CONSOLE - METRIC VIEWER

Resolution

To add a custom JasperServer report to Operator Console in UIM 20.x you can follow these steps:

 

1- Login to JasperServer as superuser

2- Open the repository , View:Repository, and browse to public/ca/uim/reports/library/

3- Right-click on Library and select "Add Folder"

4- Create a folder for your custom reports

5- Grant access as needed to this folder

6- Copy your custom report, or directly create one, to your custom folder created before

Then the path to the report should be something like this:

public/ca/uim/reports/library/My_Custom_Reports/My_Custom_Report

7- Grant access as needed to this report

8- Run the report from JasperServer to make sure it works.

9- Restart the wasp in the OC server

( Instead of stopping / start of the whole wasp (= production downtime) it's enough to reload the wasp webapp "cabi" This can be done via command line PU or GUI probe utility, for more information please check the following link: Run Probe Commands from a Command Prompt)

- example PU command to reload webapp cabi:

pu.exe -u administrator -p xxx /_domain/_hub/_robot/wasp reload_webapp "cabi"

- example Probe Utility (use: ctrl+p when selecting OC wasp in IM) with wasp callback: reload_webapp for webapp: cabi:

10- Check that the custom folder and report can be accessed from OC
