banner.

The upper-right side of the main window includes the following links:

HomeClick to return to the Management Console home page (for

example, to select another application).

LogoutClick to exit the application and the Management Console and

return to the login page.

SettingsThe metadata reporting applications also include a Settingscontrol panel for changing a variety of options depending on the selected

application.

often displays a "bread crumb" path to indicate where you are in the

application. Depending on the page displayed, sometimes you can click on

the bread crumbs to navigate to a different part of the application.

The Administrator, Impact and Lineage Analysis, and Auto Documentation

applications also use a navigation tree in the left pane.

Management Console sessions time out after 120 minutes (2 hours) of

inactivity.


The layout of the Administrator consists of a window with a navigation tree

on the left and pages with tabs on the right.

Navigation tree

The navigation tree is divided into nine nodes: Status, Batch, Real-Time,

Web Services, Adapter Instances, Server Groups, Central Repositories,

Profiler Repositories, and Management.





26/218

Status node

When the Administrator opens, it displays the Status page. The Status pagedisplays the status of the following items (after you have connected them to

the Administrator). The red, green, and yellow icons indicate the overall

status of each item based on the jobs, services, and other objects they

support.

BatchContains the name of the repository associated with the Job

Server on which you run the batch jobs. To see batch jobs status, connect

the repository to the Administrator.

Click the repository name to display a list of batch jobs and their status.

Real-TimeContains the name of the Access Servers associated witha real-time service. To see real-time jobs status, connect the Access

Server to the Administrator.

Click the Access Server name to display a list of real-time services and

their client interfaces.

AdaptersContains the name of the repository associated with the Job

Server on which you run the adapter. To see an adapter's status, enable

a Job Server for adapters, and then add the repository associated with

that Job Server.

ProfilerContains the name of the repository associated with the ProfilerServer. To see a profiler repository, connect the profiling repository to the

Administrator.

Click the repository name to display a list of profiler tasks and their status.

Batch node

After you add at least one repository connection to the Administrator, you

can expand the Batch node. Then click a repository name to display its Batch

Job Status page.

Click the All Repositories option to see jobs in all repositories connected

to this Administrator (this node only appears if more than one repository is

connected).

Each repository under the Batch node includes the following tabs:

Support for Web Services

Adapter Instances node

Use this node to configure a connection between SAP BusinessObjects Data

Services and an external application by creating an adapter instance and

dependent operations. This is a prerequisite requirement for creating a

datastore for adapters in the Designer.

After you create a datastore, import data through the adapter and create

jobs. Then use this node to view the status of Adapter instances. Options

are listed by Job Server under the Adapter Instance node.

Related Topics

Adapters

Server Groups node

The Server Groups node allows you to group Job Servers that are associated

with the same repository into a server group.

Use a server group if you want SAP BusinessObjects Data Services to

automatically use the Job Server on a computer with the lightest load when

a batch job is executed. This functionality improves load balancing

Adding Access Servers

The Administrator acts as a front end for Access Servers connected to it.

Use the Administrator to:

Configure real-time jobs as real-time services.

Configure real-time services with service providers.

Monitor Access Servers, real-time services, and service providers.

You first must connect an Access Server to the Administrator so that youcan use the Administrator to create a real-time service from a real-time job.

After a service starts, the Access Server brokers messages between external

applications and SAP BusinessObjects Data Services.

When a message request comes in, the Access Server communicates with

the Job Server to get the repository data needed to run a real-time service

and process the message. A reply comes back through the Access Server

to the message originator and the Access Server log records the event, which

you can monitor from the Administrator.

Use the Access Servers page to connect an Administrator to a repository.

To connect an Access Server to the Administrator

1. Select Management > Access Servers.

2. Click Add.

3. Enter the following information.

DescriptionOption

4. (Optional) Before attempting to register the Access Server with the

Administrator, click Ping to see if the Access Server is available and

exists on the computer and port you specified.

5. Click Apply.

The Administrator registers the Access Server, validates the Access

Server connection information, and displays the information on the Access

Servers page.

To view a list of Access Servers connected to the Administrator, selectManagement > Access Servers.

The Access Servers page lists the Access Servers that are connected to the

Administrator. You can also remove a connection to an Access Server from

this page.


You can connect any number of repositories and Access Servers to an

Administrator, which allows you to manage all jobs from a single, central

location.

Alternatively, you can set up an Administrator to manage the jobs from an

individual developer, the test repository, or different types of production jobs

(batch and real-time). You can connect repositories to one Administrator,

providing convenient access to a particular set of real-time jobs (for example,

a set that serves a unique function such as development). However,

Administrators cannot connect to each other.

To group administration by job type

1. Configure Administrators that will process a particular type of job.

For example, in your production environment you can configure one

Administrator to process batch jobs and a different Administrator to

process real-time jobs.

2. Connect each Administrator to the repositories that contain that type of

job.

You might want to name repositories so that you can easily see the types

of jobs stored on them.





46/218

3. Connect Access Servers to any Administrators that process or manage

real-time jobs.

Setting the status intervalUse the Status Interval page to specify the time period for which the

Administrator displays the status (using the red, yellow, and green status

icons) on the Batch Job Status page.

To set the status interval

1. Select Management > Status Interval.

2. On the Status Interval page, specify the time period.

You can filter the information on this page in three ways:

By the last execution of each job

By number of days

By range of dates

3. Click Apply.

The Administrator updates the list of job executions and the status interval

displays in the table title on the Batch Job Status page. The followingexample lists the last execution of all jobs.

The log retention period provides an automatic way to delete log files.

To delete log information

1. Select Management > Log Retention Period.

2. In the Log Retention Period box, enter the number of days that you want

to retain:

Historical batch job error, trace, and monitor logs

Current service provider trace and error logs

Current and historical Access Server logs

The Administrator deletes all log files beyond this period. For example:





48/218

If you enter1 then the Administrator displays the logs for today only.

After 12:00 AM, these logs clear and the Administrator begins saving

logs for tomorrow.

If you enter-1 then no logs are deleted.

If you enter1095 then the software deletes logs older than

approximately three years.

3. Click Apply.

Changes you make to the log retention period occur as a background

clean-up process so they do not interrupt more important message

processing. Therefore, logs might not be deleted immediately when you

select Apply. Changes can take up to an hour to take effect.

4. Choose a repository to view a list of executed batch job logs. When youselect repository name from the Batch Jobs menu, the Administrator

lists the most recent job first, providing a link to each job's log.

About this section

This section describes how to manage your secure central repositories using

the Administrator.

When you create a secure central repository, the repository name appears

under the Central Repositories node. Links under this node include:

Users and groupsUse to add, remove, and configure users and groups

for secure object access.

ReportsUse to generate reports for central repository objects such as

viewing the change history of an object.

Setting up users and groupsThe process for setting up users and groups is as follows:

1. Add the secure central repository to the Administrator.

2. Add groups.

3. Add users.

4. Associate users with groups.

The following sections describe these procedures.

Note:

The concept of users in the Administrator refers to setting up users to

access the SAPBusinessObjects Data Services Administrator application.

By contrast, the Users and Groups link under the Central Repositories

node in the Administrator is for setting up rights and access to a specific

central repository.

When you upgrade an existing non-secure central repository to a secure

central repository, a new group and user, DIGroup and DI_User, are

automatically created for you. To access the repository, use the default

user name and password DI_User. Change the password at your first

opportunity using the Central Repository Editor in the Designer.
