Adding a component in TrueSight Smart Reporting

You must add a component in TrueSight Smart Reporting to view the component reports. You can perform the following tasks on a component in TrueSight Smart Reporting:

• Add a component
• Update the latest views of a component
• Modify a component
• Delete the component

When you add a component in TrueSight Smart Reporting, the component reports and views are automatically imported and users and roles are created in TrueSight Smart Reporting. You can open TrueSight Smart Reporting from the component user interface.

Before you begin

Ensure that:

• You are a component administrator.
• If you have installed TrueSight Smart Reporting on Windows and if you are planning to use the Chrome browser to access TrueSight Smart Reporting, you must import CA-signed certificates for TrueSight Smart Reporting. Ensure that the connection to TrueSight Smart Reporting is in the secure mode for all clients.
  If you cannot import a CA-signed certificate and want to use a self-signed certificate, access TrueSight Smart Reporting on any browser other than Chrome, for example, Mozilla or Internet Explorer.
  See Implementing-private-certificates-in-TrueSight-Smart-Reporting for more information.

To add TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse as a component

TrueSight Smart Reporting does not support adding multiple TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse servers as components.

1. Use the following URL to open the Login page:
   https://<TrueSight Smart Reporting hostname>:<port>/tsr
2. In the Log in as list, select the TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse administrator.

3. Click here in the Click here to add a component link. You can see the Add Components page.

   Note: User roles for adding a component

   The TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse Administrator can use the Click here to add a component link to register a component. However, until a component is registered, the TrueSight Server Automation - Data Warehouse Administrator cannot log in to TrueSight Smart Reporting.

   A TrueSight Smart Reporting Administrator can log in to TrueSight Smart Reporting even if the component is not registered. However, the TrueSight Smart Reporting Administrator cannot add a component.

4. Select the options as described in the following table:

   The [confluence_table-plus] macro is a standalone macro and it cannot be used inline. Click on this message for details.
   This macro generates standalone content. As a consequence you need to make sure to use a syntax that separates your macro from the content before and after it so that it's on a line by itself. For example in XWiki Syntax 2.0+ this means having 2 newline characters (a.k.a line breaks) separating your macro from the content before and after it.
   

5. Click Save. You can see the component that you added on the Components page. After the component is connected, the value in the Status column changes from Initializing to Connected.
   
   
   
   The Status column displays values according to the registration status of your component. The following statuses are available:
   • Initializing
   • Connected
   • Registration Error
   • Disconnected
   • Deleting
   • Delete Error
   • Updating
   • Update Error
