3 Basic Configuration
Quest ChangeBASE 5.3 - User Guide
Note: The four Platform tabs enable you to prioritize the Dashboard Migration Groups so
that a priority matrix can be used in Best Way Forward reporting (refer to 7.2.1
Configuring Dashboard for your Target Environment and 7.2.2.5 Best Way Forward).
The Status panel shows whether or not:
•
the Dashboard is currently installed in the database;
•
the Dashboard processes are enabled;
•
the database is registered with the Dashboard web pages.
Note: When new versions of Dashboard are installed, the Dashboard Tab may show that
an upgrade option is available. This upgrade should be run at the earliest opportunity.
As long as the Dashboard remains installed and enabled for the database, Dashboard
data will be captured into the Dashboard tables in the database. If necessary, the capture
process can be stopped by clicking the Disable button. It can then be restarted by clicking
Enable.
Note: Any package imports or reports run during the period when Dashboard data capture
is disabled, will not be imported into Dashboard.
You can also uninstall Dashboard, which will remove all Dashboard data from the
database.
3.4.1 Registering the Dashboard Web Application with the IIS
Server
After installing Dashboard, you need to register the application with the IIS Server, as
follows:
1.
In the Options > Dashboard > Status panel, validate that the URL shows the
hostname of the machine where IIS and the Dashboard Server Components have
been installed (without any http prefix or any page suffix, e.g.
<myServer>/Dashboard).
For a standalone system, the URL will simply be <machine name>/Dashboard.
Important: For a standalone system, you will need to have installed Server
Components during the ChangeBASE installation (refer to 2.3.2 Installation).
Otherwise, Dashboard registration will fail.
2.
Click the Register button.
3.
Test the connection by opening up the Dashboard via the Assessment Results
menu:
