Action plan


  1. To perform the below steps you will need the following Relevant input
  2. Always use a CAST AIP setup installation. For reproducing issues, flat installation is not recommended because the analysis/snapshot may fail. This can be due to files that are missing in the flat installation.
  3. Deploy the Engineering Dashboard war for the version being used on a Tomcat server: Standalone Engineering Dashboard deployment
  4. Import the Central Database
  5. Update the name of the central database in the tables of central base by running the following queries on the Central Base:

    select *
    from dss_sites
    Query Result

    123456;1;"sample_central";"";"N/A";"host";"operator";"GKGMIMMIDOCSFNKL";1;5;"2016-04-18 17:56:00.255";"first_central";1;"PostgreSQL";"//localhost:2280/postgres"

    In the above query the original name of the users central database is sample_central

    update dss_sites
    set site_name='<new_CB_name>'
    where site_id= <site_id>
    Example
    Replace <new_CB_name> with the restored central database name (following the naming convention) and <site_id> with the siteID returned in the above query.
    update dss_sites
    set site_name='c810_1234_asd'
    where site_id= 123456
  6. Modify the META-INF\context.xml in your deployed tomcat area for the database server and the central database name

  7. Add a user to access the ED dashboard with the role ROLE_ADMIN (unless the issue is related to specific roles, then you may need to do further configuration as per the issue that is being investigated): User authentication
  8. Activate SQL traces on ED logs using the steps in the page Health Dashboard - Information - How to activate SQL traces on AAD and RestAPI logs

  9. Reload the application from Tomcat.

  10. Navigate to the page where the issue exists.

  11. From the SQL traces get the query responsible for the value displayed on the AAD
