Running Metrics Tasks

The data integration service is responsible for running metrics-related tasks in the content store. You can run tasks related to the manipulation of metrics data for scorecarding in IBM® Cognos® Metrics Manager.

The classes bibus » metricsFileImportTask, bibus » metricsDataSourceETLTask, bibus » metricsExportTask, and bibus » metricsMaintenanceTask are used to define tasks that are executed by dataIntegrationService service. A metric maintenance task can be run independently or used as a step in a job (bibus » jobDefinition class) or agent (bibus » agentDefinition class). The bibus » dataIntegrationTaskOptionBoolean class is used to specify metrics task options.

Three user capabilities (canUseMetricStudioEditView, canUseMetricStudio, and canUseMetricsManagerAdministration) control access to Metrics Manager functionality. The roles Metrics Administrators, Metrics Authors, and Metrics Users, assign various user capabilities related to Metrics Manager during installation.

The bibus » package » userInterfaces property controls which user interfaces are able to use the package.

The bibus » portalOption class and its derivations are used to specify portal preferences. The bibus » account » options property stores the portal preferences for a user.
