Create Content Acceleration Packs

Content Acceleration Packs (CAPs) are ready-to-import packages that include Dashboard pages that display Scorecards and components, KPIs, Metrics, Contexts (universes), data (.CSV files), and documentation for the CAP.

CAPs describe typical stories that show how correct implementation of IT Business Analytics drives Performance Improvement and Cost Reduction for the IT organization. CAPs demonstrate IT Business Analytics capabilities, and helps you add basic elements that can be used to customize your Dashboard.

You can also create your own CAPs.

For details about the Content Accelerations (CAPs) contents, see Out-of-the-Box Content Acceleration Packs (CAPs).

To access:

Create a CAP with the ITBA application data

You can create a new CAP that includes existing Contexts, Scorecards, KPIs and Metrics, Data (via .CSV files), and Dashboard pages.

Prerequisite: Before creating the CAP, make sure you have already created all the relevant Scorecards, KPIs , Metrics, Pages and Contexts that you wish to include in the CAP and that they have been calculated with the expected results. If you find that some content is missing, go back and create it. Once this is done. you can start creating the CAP.
In ITBA, click ADMIN > Data Management > Activate CAP.

The page displays the list of available CAPs.

Click the Create a new CAP button to open the Create Content Acceleration Pack wizard where you can create the CAP.

Click Next and specify the CAP name, author, version, description, recalculation date and link to any relevant document.

Click Next and in the Select Pages wizard page, select the pages you want to include in this CAP.

Note Once you have selected a Page, the Scorecards, KPIs, and Metrics that are included in that page and the Contexts that are assigned to the KPIs included in the page, are automatically selected. If you want to add to the CAP additional elements like Scorecards, KPIs, and more, click the Next button and modify your selection in the other pages of the wizard. Otherwise you can jump directly to the Summary wizard page.

Click Next and in the Select Scorecards wizard page, select the Scorecards you want to include in this CAP.

Click Next and in the Select KPIs and Metrics wizard page, select the KPIs and Metrics you want to include in this CAP.

Click Next and in the Select Contexts wizard page, select the Contexts you want to include in this CAP.
Click Create to create the CAP. Once the CAP is created you cannot modify it. The new CAP is displayed in the list of CAPs in the CAP Management page. In the right pane you can see the contents of the CAP you have just created. For details, see Create Content Acceleration Packs.

Tip If you want to modify the CAP you created, create a new CAP with the modified content and then to delete the existing CAP.

You can then download the generated CAP to a local directory and optionally, delete the CAP from the ITBA application.

When the CAP.ZIP file is created, the document you selected is automatically added to the .ZIP file at the level of the manifest.properties file. External Link. Select to provide a link to the external documentation for the CAP. Enter the URL of the documentation. When the CAP.ZIP file is created, the link you added is automatically added to the .ZIP file at the level of the manifest.properties file.

Select Pages Page

Select the pages you want to include in the CAP from the Available area and click the relevant arrows to move these pages to the Selected area. The pages listed in the Available area are the pages that already exist in the application.

Click the relevant link in the navigation pane to access the corresponding page or click Next to open the next page of the wizard.

Limitation:

"Shared KPIs" are KPIs that are reused in different Scorecards. If you share KPIs between CAPs by including pages that include these Scorecards, then after uploading these CAPs to another ITBA machine, and after activating the first CAP, and while activating the second CAP, the shared KPIs are removed from the Active KPIs hierarchies and from the Scorecard of the CAP that is activated first.
It is recommended to add all the Scorecards with shared KPIs to each CAP to prevent the removal of the shared KPIs during the activation of the second CAP.
The same issue may occur during the backup of a CAP with shared KPIs.
Pages from an activated CAP are listed in the Settings menu of the ITBA app installed on your device, only after they are opened in the Dashboard.
