Change, On-Demand, the Breakdown Display

In some Dashboard page components, you (the end-user) can change locally the display of the Breakdown KPI.

  • The total number of KPI Breakdowns (STUDIO and on-Demand) is limited to 5000 per dimension.
  • If the calculation of a KPI or Metric ends in error, check the engine.log for a number of Breakdowns being larger than the default value. You can update the default value in $HPBA_Home\glassfish\glassfish\domains\BTOA\config\settings\engine-settings.xml to be more or less 5000. 5000 is the recommended breakdown size. Larger numbers may bring performance and stabilization issue.

In the Dashboard page, in the relevant component, you (the end-user) click the relevant component and select the relevant Breakdown to modify the display on-the-fly.

The on-demand Breakdown feature is available in components where you can select the Gauge format ( and ), the Column format ( and ), the Pie format (), or the Bubble format ().

In a Dashboard page component, when the end-user clicks the relevant component, a list of the available KPI Breakdowns is displayed:

  • Note The color of the KPI Breakdowns or On-Demand Breakdowns depend on the end-user permissions: 

    • black - the end-user has permission to view the Breakdown and the Breakdown has been calculated.

    • grey:

  • The end-user can click the Breakdowns listed above the Additional Breakdowns section or the Breakdowns listed below to display the corresponding information. The component display is then automatically modified for the selected Breakdown.

    The difference between the Breakdowns above and the Breakdowns in the Additional Breakdown section is as follows:

    Breakdowns listed above Additional Breakdowns

    These Breakdowns were configured in the STUDIO. For details, see KPI Breakdowns.

    Example: The names of the displayed Breakdowns are the names specified in the STUDIO in the Name field in the Configuration details tab.

    Knowing that the context of the KPI is CSA_Demo, go to the STUDIO, and display the configuration of one for the KPI Breakdowns: Expense for Services by Organization, the Entity is CSA and the Dimension is BusinessUnits_Name.

    Breakdowns listed below Additional Breakdowns

    The on-demand Breakdowns are additional potential Breakdowns that were not created in the Studio but were configured with the Breakdown option in the Context Designer. When the end-user selects them in the Dashboard page component, they are calculated and the results are displayed on-demand in the component.

    Example: In the Context Designer for the CSA_Demo context, in the Entities area, the Service Management entity has other entities, for example Agreement Category. The Agreement Category options are:
