Greetings, Here goes answers:
Does the dashboard have a gui interface? Or just reports run from the sql database? The WorkStation is the primary GUI - it allows you to publish and open projects from the database - and the Scheduler allows configuration of the scripts as well. You can also run reports against the SQL database. Is it best to run the database on it's own pc, or is it ok to run it on a "scripting" pc? The thought is that the Dashboard is a central repository for all BWS machines to publish to and retrieve scripts from. But there is nothing wrong with running them on the "scripting PC" - provided of course the PC has the horsepower to run SQL Server 2005 (my experience thus far is that it's pretty light weight when used for this purpose) I run SQL Server on my PC and retrieve scripts from it. I'm actually starting to do this as the way I store all scripts I have because it's so much more convenient than project files. So I guess the answer is either? Any plans on a webinar about the dashboard? I did one awhile back - mostly focusing on the install, it should be available in the archive. I'll add another one to the list though.
