Deprecated Items

• KPI Instance Detail Portlet (9.9 and prior) For 9.10, the KPI Instance Detail portlet was replaced with a revised version. The KPI Instance Detail portlet (wm_bam_monitor_detail) prior to 9.10 has been deprecated in 9.10, and will be removed in 9.12. While the previous portlet is no longer accessible through My webMethods navigation, the portlet will still be functional on a user’s workspace until it is removed in the next release (9.12). Users migrating from a release prior to 9.10 who have a KPI Instance Detail portlet added to a workspace should manually remove the old portlet instance(s) from their workspace and re-add the new KPI Instance Detail portlet using the usual procedure (see steps below).

  To re-add the KPI Instance Detail portlet to a workspace:

  1. Open the workspace containing the KPI Instance Detail portlet.

  2. Copy the KPI instance name shown above the graph.

  3. Navigate to the Analytics Overview.

  4. Select the Configuration appropriate for the KPI.

  5. Search for the KPI instance name copied from step 2. Surround the name with quotes (") for an exact match.

  6. Expand the tree if necessary and view the detail for the KPI instance.

  7. Render the detail using the desired time range.

  8. Add the detail portlet to the desired workspace.

     8.1 Open the portlet menu.

     8.2 Select Add to Workspace.

     8.3 Select the desired workspace.
