Configurable cross launch URLs into BMC Analytics for BSM
Previously, the login and the in-context cross launch URLs from BMC Dashboards for BSM to BMC Analytics for BSM were hard coded. Since SAP BusinessObjects has changed the login URL in SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.0, the login URL breaks. You can now configure the login URLs to override the default hard coded URLs, which avoids the issues without changing the code.
For this, you can edit the values of the following properties that are added in the dashboard.properties file located in the DashboardInstall\BSMDashboards\tomcat\webapps\bsmdashboards\WEBINF\classes\ directory.
dashboard.analytics.logonurl.use
analytics.crosslaunch.java.url
analytics.crosslaunch.net.url
By default, the URLs are configured for SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence 4.0. If you are using an older version of SAP BusinessObjects, comment the following dashboard.analytics.logonurl.use line (property) and restart the tomcat services to use the old URLs.
#if the value for the property below is not blank, this is appended to the context in building the logon URL
#Use this property when using BOXI 4.0 AND above dashboard.analytics.logonurl.use=BI
For the analytics.crosslaunch.java.url property:
#Use this property to override URL used by dashboards to cross launch into Analytics for java platform
#Example: analytics.crosslaunch.java.url=OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?sDocType=wqy&sFolder=
analytics.crosslaunch.java.url=
For the analytics.crosslaunch.net.url property:
#Use this property to override URL used by dashboards to cross launch into Analytics for .net platform
#Example: analytics.crosslaunch.net.url=OpenDocument/opendoc/opendocument.aspx?sType=wid&sPath=
analytics.crosslaunch.net.url=
When you are using the login URL, the product checks the dashboard.properties file for overridden values. If the new values are found, they are used; otherwise, the default (hard coded value) is used.
