Server Configuration

The SPM Server and the dashboard are configured for you by your administrator. The configuration information is read-only. You can view it by clicking the Configuration Information button in the upper-right corner of the dashboard pages to understand the settings and their effect.

On the Server Configuration page, you see the following three tabs:

SPM Server Configuration tab shows the configurations related to the SPM Server. These configurations show how the engine is receiving and processing facts, how the alerts are formatted, how the email is configured, and so on. Each property is described in brief along with its value.
Important: At times, when the input data size of the fact attributes is greater than 255 characters, SPM Server encounters an exception. To overcome the issue, follows these steps:
  1. Stop the SPM server.
  2. Issue the following command on the database: alter table modify <column_name> varchar2(<new size>)

    where;

    • column_name is the column causing the error and
    • new_size is the new size of the column name that would fully accommodate the incoming data size.
  3. Restart the SPM server.

Dimension Hierarchies tab shows if hierarchies are enabled or disabled along with their cubes.

Dashboard Configuration tab shows the basic information for the dashboard.
