SAFE X3 V2 configuration console > Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server 

To be able to use the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server component, an AdxAdmin administration server needs to be installed on the server and started with an account different from Localsystem.

When using the Business Intelligence functionalities, it is possible to use an already existing solution to store those data specific to the Business intelligence or a solution of "Decision-support" type configured in the "Solution" module. A "Sage decision-support" solution is a solution devoid of Main application folders and it is therefore only used to store decision-support data.

Configuration

To implement the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server, it is necessary to:

  • Load the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server component
  • Configure the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server component
  • Publish the solution on the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server

Loading

To load this component, click on the Add button of the Business Objects servers left list.

For more information on the component loading dialog box, click here...

The Console acquires the various parameters of the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server component:

Note that the value of the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server component status is "Idle", once configured this value will become "Active".

Configuration

To configure the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server component, the following parameter MUST be entered:

  • Password of the administrator account:Specify the password that should be assigned to the Business Objects Server administrator account 

    • To launch the actual configuration of the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server component, click on the Configure button.

    Right after the configuration, the status of the component is "Active" and the password of the Business Objects server administrator has been set.

    Publish

    Solution publication

    To publish the solution in the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server, server, click on the Business Objects servers then on the "Publications" button.

    Click on the Add button of the toolbar and select the solution to publish in the list of the solutions managed by the console.

    A "SAFE X3 user" dialog box appears and mentions the application user that the console will use to initialize the product for the Business Intelligence support.

    The console then enables you, if need be, to choose a 'decision-support' solution to be used to store the decision-support of the Business Intelligence of the products based on the SAFE X3 technologies. If no decision-support is selected, the solution being published is used as decision-support solution and the Business Intelligence decision-support data will be stored in the same database as the data of the solution being published.

    Up until the V6 version : If the solution is published on a Safe X3 Web Server, a warning message will appear during the publication and it will be necessary to update the publication of the solution in the "Safe X3 Web servers" Module of the console by means of the Apply button in the "Publication" screen. This will make it possible to benefit from the possibilities offered by the Business intelligence with the Web client. If the application component of the published solution is located on a Unix type server, the Apache server on which the solution is published will have to be restarted manually. Right after the publication, the Business Intelligence functions will be available in the application folders of the published solution.

    Technical limits and publications

    Technical constraints limit the possible configurations upon publication of a solution. All constraints cannot be tested by the SAFE X3 V2 Configuration console. Therefore it is the user's responsibility to comply with the following rules:

    • it is possible to publish a solution only on one single Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server,
    • a SAFE X3 Web Server can only publish one solution, itself published on a Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server,
    • all the solutions published on the same Apache web server can only be published on the same Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server. To publish solutions located on the same physical server, but on different Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server servers, you need to install several Apache servers and publish your solutions on these various Apache servers.

    Deconfiguration

    To deconfigure the Safe X3 Business Intelligence Server component, all published solutions must have been previously depublished.

    Click on the button Deconfigure of the Configuration screen. At the end of the process, the component will switch from the status "Active" to the status "Idle".

    Changing the Administrator password of the Business Objects server

    It is possible at any moment to change the password of the administrator of the configured Business Objects server by modifying it in the Configuration screen of the Business Objects module of the Console. Then just click on the Configure button to change the password in the configuration, in the Business Objects server, but also in the active publications.
