To perform customizations that cannot be performed in the IDE, use the ETL Toolkit: ETL troubleshooting, correcting issues with the ETL steps, cleaning the data of the last ETL run and rerunning the ETL, or uninstalling data sources.

This should only be performed in the development environment.

For details, see ETL Toolkit.

DCS enables you to extract data from a specific data source according to the relevant extraction and source model that is generated by the IDE. It consists of a plugable extractor framework for each data source. The extractor gathers data according to the request it receives from the Content Flow Manager, placing it into a set of relevant .TXT files. Each supported data source has a corresponding extractor (or multiple extractors) that is capable of extracting the relevant data out of the data source. All available extractors for Content Packs use the DCS framework.

For details, see .

In addition to permissions at the level of a Scorecard or a Page, the administrator can provide permissions at the level of a dimension and its entities (Breakdown and its values). An end-user with such a permission can view data in the Dashboard and Explorer only at the level of the specific Breakdown.

For example: an end-user should be able to view only the results of KPI\Metric Breakdowns for the EMEA location and not from other locations. That end-user should not even have the option to select other locations. In the Dashboard page, after the end-user selects to view the results by Location: EMEA, the entire page is refreshed filtered for the Location:EMEA entity.

For details, see Users and Roles - Dimension Permissions.

You can specify the instance that must be completed before running the current instance in the Content Flow Management feature.
