Does mashboard works really?

[arno]

hi everybody:
please find here under how i did install the mashbooard on iserver express 10
it is on windows xp sp3.

Installing over a standard, non-customized version of Actuate Information Console 10:

Before installation we assume that your iserver installation folder is the
c:\program files\Actuate10\ (it will called later \\)
the following was tested on a iserver express 10 on windows XP SP3

Stop the Information Console service.

Backup your existing web.xml file.
(this file is stored under:
C:\Program Files\Actuate10\iServer\servletcontainer\iportal\WEB-INF)

download the needed files under :
Mashboard - Other Resources - BIRT Exchange

extract the downloaded package.
the extracted package got this structure:

--- mashboard
--- iportal
--- iportal
--- mashboard
--- portlet
--- WEB-INF
--- lib

--- src-mashboard.jar
--- volume

Copy this package’s iportal into your installed Information Console’s folder.
In fact merge all the folders the following way:

/*********************************************/
copy the full content of --- mashboard
--- iportal
into: C:\Program Files\Actuate10\iServer\servletcontainer\iportal

/*********************************************/
copy the full content of --- mashboard
--- iportal
--- iportal
into: C:\Program Files\Actuate10\iServer\servletcontainer\iportal\iportal
(so the trwo folders mashboard and portlet are directly visible into this folder)

/*********************************************/
copy the full content of --- mashboard
--- iportal
--- WEB-INF
into C:\Program Files\Actuate10\iServer\servletcontainer\iportal\WEB-INF
(this is where you copy your new web.xml file)

/*********************************************/

in the folder C:\Program Files\Actuate10\iServer\servletcontainer\iportal\WEB-INF\lib
rename the file "activation-1.0.2.jar" in activation-1.0.2.jar_file or delete it.
copy the full content of --- mashboard
--- WEB-INF
--- lib
into the C:\Program Files\Actuate10\iServer\servletcontainer\iportal\WEB-INF\lib

/*********************************************/


Edit your backup copy of web.xml,
take note of the values for the DEFAULT_LOCALE,
DEFAULT_TIMEZONE, SERVER_DEFAULT,
and DEFAULT_VOLUME parameters,
and then apply them to your newly copied web.xml.

Take care about the DEFAULT_LOCALE value!!
if your DEFAULT_LOCALE value is different from en_EN
or en_US the following section is for you:

go into C:\Program Files\Actuate10\iServer\servletcontainer\iportal\iportal\mashboard\QuickStart\content
Create a folder with the name of the DEFAULT_LOCALE value
copy the full content of an existing folder (like en_GB) into this new folder.
copy the "locale_en_GB.properties" and paste it near the original one.
rename this new file in "locale_DEFAULT_LOCALE.properties"

do not forget to do the following: (for the jsapi tab)

The JSAPI page has an environment-specific line inside the HTML that you should check.
Open up mashboard/QuickStart/content/fr_FR/mashup.html and check line number 41.

The default installation reads:
Code:
var url = "http://localhost:8700/iportal";

That points to a full iServer installation. Change yours to point to the iServer Express install:
Code:
var url = "http://localhost:8900/iportal";

Save the file and re-load the tab (you do not have to log out of the Mashboard).
this was given by Brian previoulsly in this thread
but do not forget that if you use the iserver express 10 the port number is the 8900 and not the 8700.

Start the Information Console service.


enjoy!!!

hoping this will help people to use this application

Hi Brian,

I have the same issue,

I am getting error as follow:

HTTP Status 404 - Invalid path /mashboard was requested

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

type Status report

message Invalid path /mashboard was requested

description The requested resource (Invalid path /mashboard was requested) is not available.

Under following folder i modified the web.xml file:

C:\program files\Actuate10\iServer\servletcontainer\iportal\WEB-INF

And following are the value which I changed:

<param-name>DEFAULT_LOCALE</param-name>
<param-value>en_US</param-value>

<param-name>DEFAULT_TIMEZONE</param-name>
<param-value>EST Standard Time</param-value>

<param-name>SERVER_DEFAULT</param-name>
<param-value>http://DBLONWS28408:8000</param-value>

<param-name>DEFAULT_VOLUME</param-name>
<param-value>dblonws28408</param-value>

Please let me know where i am doing wrong.

Thanks
