Operations Control Center Dashboard 7.2
Overview
1 Overview
This document details the usage, configuration and administration of OCC Dashboard. OCC Dashboard is one of
the dashboard models delivered with Focused Insights for Solution Manager.
OCC Dashboard let you create in a convenient and simple way, appealing and powerful dashboards with direct
access to most important metrics stored inside your Solution Manager. It is easy to create fully custom views
which display and mix up those metrics in different time frames and different granularities.
You can build as many gadgets and dashboard instances as you want and publish those using dedicated URLs.
Most common web browsers whether they run on a computer or on a mobile devices can display OCC dashboards
(for details, see also SAP note 1716423 - SAPUI5 Browser Support).
OCC Dashboard includes an auto refresh mechanism to be integrated easily in your operation control center.

2 Usage
The OCC Dashboard relies on two main graphical components:
• Dashboard: A free-defined row-column layout combining different graphical charts named ‘gadget’. You can
create and distribute different dashboards via URLs and control the access to your dashboards via SAP
authorization
• Gadget: Charting capabilities that could be shared via multiple dashboards.
A Gadget supports multiple data providers and data renderers.
o The data providers correspond to the different reporting/monitoring use-cases in SAP Solution Manager:
System Monitoring, EEM, and BPA. BPMon.
o The data renderers are grouped into a library of graphical components used to visualize the different data
sources. You can select different graphs as line-chart, bar-chart, …
In addition, time frame selection could be applied to a single gadget or an entire dashboard.
2.1 Direct Access URLs
OCC Dashboards are accessible from this Solution Manager URL:
https:// <solman_host>:<solman_port>/sap/bc/bsp/stdf/dv/dashboard.html
Figure 2: Usage: Direct access URL (1)
To access directly a specific dashboard instance, use the following notation, where <ID> is the unique identifier of
the dashboard instance.
Remark: This direct URL is built automatically in the address bar when you navigate to the dashboard instance.
https:// <solman_host>:<solman_port>/sap/bc/bsp/stdf/dv/dashboard.html#<ID>
To access directly a specific gadget, you can use the following notation, where <ID> is the unique identifier of the
dashboard instance and <ID_GADGET> is the unique identifier of a gadget it contains. Remark: This direct URL is
built automatically in the address bar when you navigate to the gadget.
https:// <solman_host>:<solman_port>/sap/bc/bsp/stdf/dv/dashboard.html#<ID>-<ID_GADGET>

3.1.5 Re-Using Gadgets
Each time you configured a gadget inside a dashboard and you save your changes, this gadget becomes available
to other dashboard. When you switch to dashboard edit mode, you can see on the left side the list of available
gadgets. Each gadget accepts a unique identifier together with a name (gadget's title).
You can re-use any available gadgets with a simple drag & drop from the left menu to one of the dashboard's
gadget on the right side. Don't forget to save your change.
After a drag & drop, two or more dashboards might share the same gadget. It means that any change you will do
to this gadget (content or title) will be visible on all dashboards which use this gadget. If you want to break this
reference between a dashboard and a gadget, you just need to delete the gadget inside the dashboard.

4.1 Data Provider /STDF/DF_SYSMON
Data provider /STDF/DF_SYSMON gives you access to all metrics of MAI’s (Monitoring and Alerting
Infrastructure) system monitoring scenario. Data are read from Solution Manager’s BW.
In order to be accessible from this data provider, metrics must be configured an activated properly. Moreover, the
metrics must be reported to SAP Solution Manager’s BW.
One way to configure this data provider is to first identify the metrics you are interested in from Solution
Manager’s system monitoring tree (System Monitoring application). From there, you can first make sure that the
metrics are working properly and then retrieve the metrics’ technical name you’ll need to configure the data
provider.
The following procedure details how to configure this data provider:
• Go to Technical Monitoring Work Center
• Select Technical System
• Start System Monitoring application
• Open a node at Technical System level
• Select the metric in the tree (metric should have a numerical value)

4.5.1 BPO Dashboards Overview
BPO Dashboards provide a graphical display for application specific and technical key figures in order to give the
end user an overview of the most important information for a certain business topic, area or process. This
information can be retrieved from various SAP and non-SAP data sources and is displayed in panels. All
information needed by the end user is provided at a glance on a single screen: a Dashboard.
The core strength of BPO Dashboards is to display KPIs based on information from different data sources. The
following two SAP Solution Manager's applications can provide data for Business Process Operation Dashboards:
SAP Business Process Analytics & SAP Business Process Monitoring.
Furthermore customer specific data sources (such as for example SAP BW Info Cubes, non-SAP BW Info Cubes,
SAP tables, non-SAP databases) can be developed and used by Business Process Operation Dashboards.
The BPO Dashboards must be setup properly in order to use data provider /STDF/DP_BPA. For more
information, check related documentation.
In order to reuse BPO dashboards AKFIs (analytical key figure instances), you need to create a panel which
includes the AKFIs. It is not necessary to setup a BPO Dashboard.
Figure 66: Setup BPO Dashboard
To create a panel, you should use application “Setup BPO Dashboards” available from Business Process
Operation work center of Solution Manager. The first step is to create one or several AKFIs and then reference
those in a panel.

values:
• Thresholds are taken from the Query String (G2Y and Y2R) or the Gadget configuration: If there is no
Thresholds, the Rating will be Grey.
• Period for the Rating is taken from the gadget period.
o If the Data Provider is of type DP_DF_KPI, the following parameters can be used: Period, Resolution
• Rating Trend is either High Is Good or Low is good depending on the G2Y and Y2R values.
• Rating type is by default AVG. This is based on the Query String parameter SLA.

5.2 Score Renderer and Gadget KPI
OCC Dashboard is used as graphical editor for Score creation:
It relies on the following concepts:
• A new DP is provided to consume Gadget as KPI.
• A new Renderer is created to renderer Score.
• The graphical creation of a Score is then done in 4 steps:
• Creation and visualization of the “KPI Gadgets” including the different Metrics.
• Creation of “Score Gadget” containing a list of KPI Gadgets by using the DP_KPI_GADGET provider.
• Generation of the Score to collect daily compliancy values from the strategic job.
• Visualization of the Score Gadget by using the Score Renderer.

From dashboard administration page you do all global configuration activities, meaning activities which concern
all dashboard instances:
• Manage folders and dashboards' title
• Enable/Disable dashboards
• Set a dashboard as read-only
You administrate the dashboards from this URL:
https://<solman_host>:<solman_port>/sap/bc/bsp/stdf/dv/admin.html

Figure 140: Manage Dashboards
Enable or disable a dashboard by clicking on the checkbox on the first column (“Enabled”). A dashboard disabled
remains in the configuration but won’t be displayed. You can decide to show or hide disabled dashboards using
the button “Show/Hide Disabled Items” available on the top right.

6.2 Data Providers
In this administration tab you indicate the data providers you want to use. To add a new data provider, press
button "Add Provider" and indicate the exact name of the implementation class. When you save your change, the
corresponding description should be updated automatically if the implementation class is correct, otherwise,
double check the class name.

It is also possible to disable a data provider by unchecking the "Enabled" checkbox in the last column. If a data
provider is disabled, it won't be available anymore to create new metric (gadget's settings screen). However, the
existing metrics which use this data provider will continue to work normally. A disabled data provider can be
enabled again by checking the checkbox "Enabled".
Caution: disabled data providers are listed in the table only if the button "Show Disabled Items", available on the
top right, is pressed.
