Dashboard Server Environment Control

The dashboard server environment provides administers with maximum control of the application. InetSoft's dashboard software is a flexible and powerful performance monitoring solution. Read below to learn more about the Style Intelligence solution.

Use the 'Server' > 'Status' page under the Server tab to start or stop an RMI or CORBA server, or to “restart” a server (i.e., reload the server properties file).

The 'Repository Servlet URL' property specifies the URL used to access the repository servlet, and must match the actual URL used by the application server. For most application servers, the URL can be relative or blank, so the servlet builds its own URL. However, some application servers may not return the correct URL to the servlet. In this case, the 'Repository Servlet URL' property must be used to supply the correct URL.

The replet repository is the main server component, responsible for handling all report requests from a client. Select the 'Configuration' > 'Server' node under the Server tab to choose one of the repository server options:

Servlet with Embedded Report Engine: Servlet implementation of the repository for web-based reporting.

Servlet with server clustering: Servlet implementation of the repository for a load-balanced clustering.
RMI Server: RMI server object implementation of the repository.
CORBA Server: CORBA server object implementation of the repository.

The 'Servlet with embedded report engine' is the most commonly used configuration of the reporting engine. In this configuration, clients access the report repository via a servlet which has the reporting engine embedded within it. With this configuration, users can view all the reports and Viewsheets within a web browser (Report Portal).
