CAST Dashboard Service schema connection configuration pooling

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Info

Summary: it is possible to modify the connection configuration for the Engineering Dashboard and the RestAPI to pool multiple CAST Dashboard Service schemas in one resource “domain”. In other words, you no longer have to configure one resource (in the context.xml) per CAST Dashboard Service schema, instead, one resource (in the context.xml) can function for multiple CAST Dashboard Service schemas.

Note

This page is only relevant for Dashboard 1.x. Dashboards 2.x already use connection pooling by default.

Info

Summary: This page explains how to configure various advanced options that affect the entire Engineering Dashboard. Note that this page does not deal with Tiles (see Engineering Dashboard tile management).

Above and beyond the configuration possibilities that are available for Tiles, there are additional advanced configuration options as listed below:

Configure the ability to request access when not able to log in
Configure log out dialog box
Configure the display of all Business Criteria or just Health Factors
Define the number of violations displayed when “Show All” is clicked
Choose a default language
Define custom Action Plan priorities
Configure session timeout interval
Add a drop down tag filter list
Enable Action Plan Exclusion

How to configure the options

The options listed above are governed by a .json file located here (this is the same file that is used to configure Tiles (see Engineering Dashboard tile management).

Integration of CAST Action Plan into Atlassian JIRA

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Info

Summary: This document provides an example configuration for the Atlassian JIRA Web Service to exploit the results produced by CAST AIP via the CAST RestAPI. Some existing scripts has been produced to create the interaction between APIs. They need to be adapted to the context of your ownproject.

Prerequisites

✅	Access to the CAST RestAPI from the machine on which you are using the scripts.
✅	Access to Atlassian JIRA REST WebService from the machine on which you are using the scripts.
✅	Groovy 3.x should be installed on the machine on which you are using the scripts. using a more recent release will result in the following error: Managing the Engineering Dashboard search indexes Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 Info Summary: This page explains how to manage the Search indexes used in the Engineering Dashboard. Introduction The CAST Engineering Dashboard has two search options available for use: Basic search, providing search on items in the Assessment Model (i.e. rules) and on object names. Results are dependent on the location the search is made. Advanced search, providing search for objects based on a list of violations. Results are not location dependent. Each search option is governed by a separate index which produces the results. An explanation of the indexes for each search option is provided below. Report Generation configuration Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 Info Summary: This page explains how to configure Report Generation used in the Engineering Dashboard. Note This information is valid only for ≤ 2.6 releases of the Engineering Dashboard: when using ≥ 2.7, no configuration is required since reports are generated automatically in PDF format. See Engineering Dashboard - Report Generation. Introduction The Report Generation feature allows you to generate reports on the fly direct from the CAST Engineering Dashboard interface. Various reports can be generated, however, some require some configuration before they will work. See Engineering Dashboard - Report Generation for more information. Using the GUI and CLI tools for Engineering Dashboard Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 Info Summary: this page explains how to use the standalone GUI based or CLI based tools to manually manage data for the Engineering Dashboard. Introduction You can either launch the GUI tools that provide you with an interface to launch the process, or you use the CLI application in a batch file to launch the processes: Synchronize data for component investigation in ED This action populates SQL tables needed to see the component browser information in the ED. If data is not synchronized, this module will display no data in the portal. The data is historized for each snapshot. View custom Business Criteria in Engineering Dashboard Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 Info Summary: this page explains how to ensure that any custom Business Criteria (and contributing Technical Criteria/Rules) are visible in the Engineering Dashboard. Introduction If you have created custom Business Criteria with custom contributing Technical Criteria and Rules, you need to use the following steps to ensure that these items can be seen in the Engineering Dashboard. Take the following example created in the CAST Management Studio (at the current time it is not possible to create custom Business Criteria/Technical Criteria/Rules in CAST AIP Console): Custom Standard Compliance report generation Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 Introduction This document explains how to configure the Engineering Dashboard to generate your own custom Standard Compliance report, alongside the Standard Compliance reports provided by CAST. This procedure is advanced configuration and is only recommended for those that have good prior knowledge of report generation. How it works Custom report templates are defined in a .json file. Each custom report template .json file is stored in `<data>\config\ed\reports` within your Engineering Dashboard installation folder. Each custom report template must be declared in `<data>\config\ed\ed.json` within your Engineering Dashboard installation folder. The Dashboard is restarted to ensure the changes are taken into account. Custom report templates will be available in the report generation interface in the Engineering Dashboard, under the Standard Compliance category - see Engineering Dashboard - Report Generation. Step by step instructions Step 1 - define your custom report Create a blank .json file (you can name it however you want, but CAST recommends keeping the file name short where possible) and then start building the template with a text editor. Store the .json file in `<data>\config\ed\reports.`
