Re: BSM Dashboards 7.7

Listers,

Ok, so I've figured out the root MySQL password and the cs050101
password... however, I'm still having an issue as to where it stores the
Dashboards usernames/passwords since they don't store anywhere in the
database...

Has anyone built an integration using Remedy API to create a Dashboards
account through Remedy?  Basically what I was thinking was: When a user
profile is saved/modified within Remedy (with some kind of dashboards flag
albeit checkbox or group membership), to fire a command to dashboards to
create an account with the same login id.  Was hoping to write a SQL script
to do it, however that seems to be out of the question now...

Thoughts? Comments?

Bueller?

Rob,
I don't know the answer to your question but from experience and the direction 
I've seen BMC going, they will most likely retire the Dashboards product. They 
will be looking to take advantage of BOXI 4 and it's SDK for both Analytics and 
dashboards capabilities. 
So armed with that knowledge, you can weigh the pros and cons of pursuing the 
integration and development time you're going to be putting in to the current 
product.

Re: BSM Dashboards 7.7

Tauf,

Thanks for the reply.

The more and more I keep digging into Dashboards 7.7.01, the more and more
I shake my head

I've found that it not only utilizes an instance of mySQL, but utilizes an
instance of Apache Derby DB as well.  The Dashboard users are stored in the
schema BSMDASHBOARDSAPP under the table BSD_USERS within Derby.

Utilizing command line JDBC calls, the following call is stating that
userid or password is invalid

'jdbc:derby://localhost:1528/bsmdashboards';

Once I can get in through this jdbc connection it will be easy to script
out my integration - it's just finding the userid and password that I will
need to connect :-)

Rob
