    How to launch a URL externally in context, from a DASH widget?

    BobbyJoseph 0600010AUC | | Comment (1) | Visits (12412)

    Tweet
    Quite often we get asked from the field on different ways to easily launch external URLs from DASH. In this blog we will discuss about some of the options and look at one particular implementation in detail.   In this particular scenario, a dashboard administrator/page designer wants to launch an external URL (outside DASH, pointing to another IBM or non-IBM product) in response to the user clicking on a row in the list, table or a gauge widget. We will get the context from the widget and pass on to the external URL as query parameters.... [More]

    Dashboarding: Using TDI with DASH

    kparz 0600001PVT | | Comment (1) | Visits (9373)

    Tweet
    The out of the box widgets that come in Jazz for Service Management with the Dashboard Application Services Hub (DASH) are built to show data coming from a data provider.  Several products already come with a data provider that is ready to go.  However, it may be the case that you would like to show some data that is currently not being served up from a data provider.  In these cases, you can use Tivoli Directory Integrator (TDI) to make this data available to DASH.  (Impact also allows you to get other data and make it...

    There is beauty in visualization, there is paradise in beautiful integration, then there is a Meat Loaf-esque attempt at tying this entry’s title to the intro. For the past two years we have been focusing on consolidating and correlating data from different data providers, and during that time we also put out a rather polished Registry Services Sample UI console that allowed people to  browse data stored in Registry Services. All the while we kept throwing a long look across the hallway - actually they sit on the floor above, their not so... [More]

    Dashboard Application Service Hub (DASH) is a fascinating advancement we have for our Cloud & Smarter Infrastructure platform. Management and operational users are in dire need of understanding the health and current state of their environment.   Since out-of-the-box dashboards never fully provide everything an organization requires, implementing customization is a priority. Users need to be able to create their dashboards on the fly for pertinent information. To have the capability to pull in data from various sources and... [More]

    Building a Custom Dashboard using Netcool/Impact

    dcheung 060000TN3R | | Comment (1) | Visits (8849)

    Tweet
    I want to share with the DASH community on how we can approach building some unique custom dashboards in DASH leveraging Netcool/Impact. With the intuitiveness of DASH, combined with the simple out of box integration for Impact we can put together a custom dashboard relatively quick.  One of the challenges that we see across numerous clients is the ability to customize a list of resources. In a typical environment, a user would have a combination of Windows, Linux, and UNIX servers. Within the Tivoli Enterprise Portal we have limited... [More]

    If I have multiple products deployed in an IT environment, I can use each of them individually. However, solving a problem often requires access to information from multiple products . For example, if I have a problem with a business application, I might need information about which servers and associated hardware and software support that application. I might then want to know details about how those servers are configured, which of them are overloaded, which ones have had recent configuration changes, and if there are error events being...

    Tweet
    Courtesy of my colleague Chris Appleton in Netcool/OMNIbus development, there is a new video on how they designed their own OSLC Service Provider for their upcoming 7.4 FP3 release. All standard disclaimers apply about release contents not being final until formally announced, but the work is already subject to external try-outs in the Jazz for Service Management hosted beta . This video was primarily created for systems integrators who already extend Netcool/OMNIbus and want to expand that integration to enable collaboration with other OSLC... [More]

    agiammar 120000P1JM | | Visits (7062)

    Tweet
    This demo ( OSLC and TOSCA Cloud App Lifecycle ) is about a lifecycle of a cloud application. It is not “THE END-END LIFECYCLE”, it is just one example of the many possible lifecycles you can build with your tools to manage cloud applications. The goal is to show how OSLC and TOSCA make this easy. The lifecycle is composed of the following steps: In the first step, a developer imports a TOSCA cloud application package in a definitive software library. The library is implemented with Rational Asset Manager, but any other tool implementing the... [More]
