  3. Overview

  4. WebFOCUS Open Portal Services Overview • Portals need to access information to be valuable • A large portion of needed information is locked in databases and applications • Most portals lack BI capabilities • Reporting and analysis are not core technologies • They rely on applications and tools to create the content they display • Portals concentrate and deliver fully formatted content, they do not crunch data or format reports

  5. WebFOCUS Open Portal Services Overview Open Portal Services enables you to extend WebFOCUS business intelligence capabilities to end users within an existing EIP framework. Users can: • Personalize the way they view, store, and retrieve business intelligence content for optimum job efficiency. • Decide what content to include in each content window and how that content is displayed and organized. • Combine graphics and reports in the same portal page. • Employ analytic tools for all types of reporting and query, including ad hoc and OLAP.

  6. WebFOCUS Open Portal Services Overview • Benefits of Using WebFOCUS Open Portal Services WebFOCUS Open Portal Services offer many benefits to the users within the enterprise by: • Providing immediate access to critical enterprise-wide data. • Incorporating comprehensive reporting and analysis capabilities within the portal and enhancing the user experience by delivering relevant, real-time information. • Enabling users to display, locate, share, visualize, and analyze business intelligence information based on their roles within the enterprise. • Supporting internal and external security for delivering timely and accurate business reports to authorized users.

  7. WebFOCUS Open Portal Services Single Signon Support • Support for secure signon integration with supported third-party portal products • Initiates a trusted Managed Reporting signon on behalf of the Portal User using its user ID to avoid the subsequent Managed Reporting logon prompt.

  8. WebFOCUS Open Portal Services Overview • WebFOCUS Open Portal Services provides a set of WebFOCUS components that allow WebFOCUS to integrate quickly into EIPs. • To achieve portability and reusability these components may be in any of the following formats: • ASP • JSP • JAVA • JavaScript • HTML/XML

  12. WebParts Installation & Configuration

  13. Installation prerequisites: • WebFOCUS 76x or above. In our case it’s 7.7. • WebFOCUS 76x or above Reporting Server. • TOMCAT 5.5.x or up.

From the drive:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\BIN\ directory I have copied stsadm.exe into this directory as well.

  16. Preparing the webParts for deployment: Step 2 2. From the dos prompt, cd into the above directory on your machine and execute the following command: stsadm -o addwppack -filename WOAS_Cab.CAB -force -globalinstall after this command is executed you should see the following output: Operation completed successfully
