live dashboard on unx that doesn't timeout

system · October 26, 2015, 3:53pm

how can I build a dashboard that is:

realtime - data gets refreshed (say) every 2 minutes
behind the dashboard is a unx universe built on top of an OLTP SQL Server database
the dashboard does not time out.

product considered: design studio or dashboard designer

What is your actual question? Yes, you should be able to do all that, so is it falling over somewhere?

Hi Debbie
I need to have a live dashboard that fetches the data from a unx universe.
The dashboard should keep on refreshing on its own (maybe every minute) and should not time out.

How is it possible in design studio?

If not then which other tool can be used
Thanks

Well I haven’t got as far as Design Studio yet (still can’t get it loaded on my pc), but in the earlier offering of SAP Business Objects Dashboards, I have it running quite happily with a data connection refreshing every 3 minutes. It might fall over occasionally when there’s a network issue, but otherwise it runs 24/7 in our control centre.

There is an SDK sample in design studio that called a “timer”. It does just that - allows you to run a script ( refresh/reload etc) at a repeating interval. I personally havent used this yet - but have seen implementations similar to your needs in demo’s etc based on the timer component.
