Created Issue: Enable configuration of SSAS database name [4327]

ham26a65 — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:45:23 GMT

We would like to be able to change the SSAS database name defined in the data source during publishing. Could this be added in?

Commented Issue: Display condition lost

kevinidzi — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 04:39:18 GMT

We use birap to deploy ppm dashboard from one server to the other.
Everything's fine, except for the display condition defined on reports view. They are lost in the deployment.
The display condition are defined on reports of type Analytic chart.

I wonder if we are doing something wrong ?

<sigh> no. unfortunately you are not. This is an issue someone else actually reported and I currently do not have a good answer for it. This is due to the way the data is loaded in the tool when using a BWSX file. IT works if you give it a source server, and a target server. The tool picks up the dashboard object from the webservice and all is good.

When you use a BWSX file, it opens the file and takes the 'dashboard' element (which has the same structure as the webservice) and deserializes it to an object to use in the tool interchangeably with the rest of the code as if it came from a webservice. The issue is that this deserialization seems to not work with an embedded datatable inside the BWSX file. Something to do with the namespace and the data which is in the bwsx does not get into the object. Since the xmlserializer is a very general object, I have not found a way to make it also deserialize the datatable correctly with the rest of the object, so I am a bit stuck on that one.

Created Issue: PAS Errors on Folder

kevinidzi — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 05:28:06 GMT

When the Libraries have Pages inside of Folders on the PAS Server, the tool errors and dies. The fix would be to support recursively going through the folder to find the guids and do the matching.
Due to the recursive nature of folders, the existing structure of Library / Book / Page will be used when mapping with the Excel lookup file, and will be used for PPS (still works fine!) to keep it simple and always 3 levels - the folder will simply be ignored.

Created Issue: Parameter Replacement not working for Child Elements

kevinidzi — Wed, 03 Dec 2008 05:25:22 GMT

Replacement in the PerformancePointUpdates element works, and the collection items below if (data sources, etc). But the 'elements', not collections, do not have their replacements working (PasChanges)

Commented Feature: Reporting Services Integration

kevinidzi — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 22:44:10 GMT

Here are the things I'm thinking about, anything else you think needs to be here?

PPS Element
- Allow updating of PPS Element to change Server Name and have it link the correct target report
- Allow updating of matching report parameters (like with excel services)

ReportingServices Element
- Add ability to copy RDL from a source server to a target server
- Add ability to copy RDL from a local location to a target server
- Add ability to copy a Datasource from a local location to a target server (and change underlying server/credentials)
- Add ability to add / remove users and roles for Reporting Server
- Add ability to adjust some Execution Details
Comments: ** Comment from web user: kevinidzi **

Well, the PPS Element part is completed. It currently does not deploy anything for Reporting Services. If needed, RSDeploy already does this and can be used until it is fully integrated with this application.

Commented Feature: Side by Side Deployment

kevinidzi — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:53:54 GMT

Allow elements to be given unique IDs so that they can be redeployed to the same server to facilitate a dev/test environment. At the same time, a prefix or suffix should be added to the name of all affected elements (Dashboard/Scorecard/KPI/Reports/Data Source/Indicator) to allow the different iterations to be picked out.
Comments: ** Comment from web user: kevinidzi **

The downwind items that need to be thought out for this to work deeply for a true side-by-side approach:

- This will not be available for PAS reports, although the PPS PAS elements would be updated.

- Do DCL's in Sharepoint also get setup with Side By Side pre/suffix? If so, they need to be 'approved' at the same time. Currently DCLs need to pre-exist since they require approval.

- Excel Services
Does this use side-by-side pre/suffix? If so, the Excel XLSX report link could have the target file be added maunally in the config with the suffix (can do this now), and then in the excelReports node for PPS, it could be stated to add the suffix/prefix for all of the excel reports in the matching group which would connect to the xlsx file. That might suffice for now.

- Web Page Link
PPS Element would be copied with prefix/suffix added to name. Using the find/replace, the side by side can be done using the existing functionality.

- Reporting Services? Need to add this support first.

Closed Feature: Add Find/Search Replacement for Web Page Reports

kevinidzi — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 18:01:41 GMT

Add the ability to replace out anything in a URL set for a web page report.

Closed Feature: Enable loading PPS data from a Workspace file (BSWX)

kevinidzi — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:31:37 GMT

The app will load the data for PPS from a local BSWX. The current filtering that is used (based on a particular property for each element) will still be used, even for the workspace when selecting which items to update.

Closed Feature: Add IsEnabled to all elements within a collection

kevinidzi — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 09:57:43 GMT

It is easier to just have an IsEnabled attribute on the elements to help with setting up the sections, and turning things off when environmental issues are found. With the other feature about using parameters, you could have everything related to proclarity, for example, be disabled if for some reason it is not working, yet still deploy and work with the other items as needed.

Closed Feature: Ability to inject parameter substitution for values in config file

kevinidzi — Sun, 16 Nov 2008 09:57:43 GMT

Feature will allow user to enter command line parameters. When done, any entries for the selected deployment using those parameters in brackets will be replaced with the command line parameter. This will allow a deployment type to be reused across different tiers, using different command line arguments (vs hardwiring it in the config file).

Closed Feature: Make app UAC aware

kevinidzi — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:12:34 GMT

When running app in a non-uac command prompt, it fails, vs prompting for elevation. The app must be run in admin console generally, so add a manifest to require that at compiletime.

Closed Issue: No paramaeters at command line causes app to fail

kevinidzi — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:12:33 GMT

Update the app to show the deployments in the configuration file which are loadable, if no commands are provided at commandline for app.

Closed Feature: Support for syncing an Excel Services document to any target location

kevinidzi — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 18:12:32 GMT

Currently, the folder under the source and target sites must be the same to deploy. It would be helpful if a target folder could be provided.
