Dashboard using Performance Manager in Production

[system]

Hi,

Our company is embarking on a project that will use Performance Manager which we already have the license. Before going too far, we want to know if there is any organization that is in production with Performance Manager. We would like to know your experiences with that product.

Thanks,
Lionel

There are couple such as VW North America among others. Ask your sales representative at Business Objects for references.

PM is a complex product, do invest in training and be aware that PM does not help you to define your KPIs/metrics, those must be defined by your business units!

Technical pre-requisite is a JSP application server! JSP is a must here for PM.

Also, take a look at Crystal XCelsius as well, I expect XCelsius to be merged (not replacing) sometime with PM.

Thanks Andreas.

What is the recommended platform for JSP: IIS/Tomcat or Apache/Tomcat?

What are your experiences in terms of stability of the two platform?

We’re planning to use Windows authentication. I believe that leaves us with IIS/Tomcat as the only choice.

Thanks.

That is correct.

Joe,

Forget about Windows Authentication for a moment.
Which is a more stable environment? Apache/Tomcat or IIS/Tomcat?

Thanks.

We ran Apache/Tomcat for a short peirod (maybe < 6 months), but we’ve been running IIS/Tomcat for about three years. Getting Tomcat to work with IIS required some additional setup, but it’s been running smoothly ever since.

Joe,

What versions of IIS and Tomcat are you using?
Do you know if there is issue with Tomcat 5.5?
Is there additional code we need to put in? If so, do you mind sharing the code?

Thanks in advance.

We are using IIS 5 with Tomcat 5.0.27. It does work with IIS 6, but the setup is different.

I don’t have a document that defines the process, but here are a couple of threads on the same topic:

I am using AppF 6.5.1 on a W2K box using the version of Tomcat supplied with Webi 6.5.1, I think it is 4.2? I have downloaded the latest isapi_redirect.dll and set up worker.properties and uriworkermap.properties files and general jsp pages seem to work ok. The problem I am getting seems to be with Applets. The report writing applet wont fire up and when I go into AppF set up to define the connection to the AppF repository I get ‘Could not perform this operation (CI0103)’ . Is this down to t…
