Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.

Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |

Configure the Showback Report Menu
The (Undefined variable: CSAVariables.tabMPP_ShowbackReport) menu in the Marketplace Portal is a link to HPE IT Business Analytics, which automatically gathers metrics from CSA to build key performance indicators. HPE IT Business Analytics provides scorecards and dashboards so that a Consumer Organization Administrator has insight into how to measure and optimize the cost, risk, quality, and value of IT services and processes.
In the Marketplace Portal, the Consumer Organization Administrator role has access to the Showback Report tile. By default, the Showback Report menu is enabled in the Marketplace Portal. However, you must configure the hostname of the system on which HPE IT Business Analytics is installed to link to HPE IT Business Analytics from the Marketplace Portal. Additionally, to ensure seamless navigation between the Marketplace Portal and HPE IT Business Analytics, configure HP SSO between the Marketplace Portal and HPE IT Business Analytics.
Configure the Link to HPE IT Business Analytics
- Navigate to the
PERSISTENT_VOLUME_PATH/sync/mpp/portal/node_modules/mpp-server/conf/
directory. - Make a backup copy of the
dashboard.json
file. - Open the
dashboard.json
file in a text editor. -
Locate the following section:
"label": "common.items.SCORECARD",
"icon": {
"className": "icon-status"
},
"link": {
"url": "https://<CONFIGURE_HOST_NAME>/
fndwar/loadEmbeddedPage.jsp?com.hp.bsm.uim.pageUID=ef63ab7f-b86b-43c8-b8d8-bb81869b73dc",
"target": "_blank"
} - Replace
<CONFIGURE_HOST_NAME>
with the host name of your HPE IT Business Analytics installation. - Save and exit the file.
-
If you are logged in to the Marketplace Portal, clear the browser cache (see Clear the web browser cache for information about how to clear the web browser cache) and refresh the browser.
Note The changes to the
dashboard.json
file do not require you to restart the CSA pod.
Configure HP SSO
To ensure seamless navigation between the Marketplace Portal and HPE IT Business Analytics, HP SSO must be configured for CSA and HPE IT Business Analytics. Note the following:
- Verify that HP SSO for HPE IT Business Analytics is configured to enable logging on to the Marketplace Portal. See the HPE IT Business Analytics Administrator Guide for more information about configuring HP SSO for HPE IT Business Analytics.
-
For SSO between CSA and HPE IT Business Analytics to work successfully, both products must be installed on machines that are in the same Domain. The value of Domain and Protected Domain parameters specified for HP SSO configuration must be the same.
Note As HP SSO is enabled by default, if you disable HP SSO manually, seamless navigation between CSA/Marketplace Portal and HPE IT Business Analytics will no longer work.
-
You must configure users for both CSA and HPE IT Business Analytics for single sign-on (each user must have the same name and password). You can also configure LDAP users for single sign-on. To enable single sign-on for LDAP users, you must either configure CSA and HPE IT Business Analytics to use the same LDAP source or, if CSA and HPE IT Business Analytics use different LDAP sources, configure the same users in both sources. In either case, the CSA user must be assigned to the appropriate role to access the menu that launch HPE IT Business Analytics and the HPE IT Business Analytics user must be assigned a role that allows it to perform the expected functions in HPE IT Business Analytics.
-
When configuring HP SSO, the
initString
setting for the Cloud Service Management Console/Marketplace Portal, and HPE IT Business Analytics must be configured to the same value. The value of theinitString
attribute is configured in thecrypto
element in thePERSISTENT_VOLUME_PATH/jboss-as/standalone/deployments/idm-service.war/WEB-INF/hpssoConfig.xml
file. Use this setting to configure the Cloud Service Management Console/Marketplace Portal , and HPE IT Business Analytics.The
initString
value represents a secret key and should be treated as such in your environment.
