How to: |
You must first create data that will be integrated with WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Analyst Edition (AE). The example in this section uses a simple report created in WebFOCUS InfoAssist with the CAR Master File.
Creating an application directory allows you to create a target location for data files that are generated by the VISDISAE output format, which are used by WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Workbench AE and WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Server AE. This target location is recommended to be outside of the WebFOCUS installation folder structure, since WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Server AE may not always be installed on the same machine as WebFOCUS.
C:/visdisproj
The Create New Application dialog box opens in the workspace area.
This directory can now be used to store the data file(s) generated with FORMAT VISDISAE. This is recommended since the data file generated by FORMAT VISDISAE will typically be stored on its own in a directory accessible from WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Server AE.
WebFOCUS InfoAssist opens.
Notice the output presented in the browser, which is representative of how Visual Discovery AE dashboards consume WebFOCUS-driven data.
The Properties dialog box for the selected WebFOCUS procedure opens.
Notice that this URL now includes the visdisae.ibfs extension.
You will be required to enter (paste) this URL in the Data Wizard of WebFOCUS Visual Discovery Workbench AE as you design a Visual Discovery AE Project.
