Adaptive Job Server Destinations Test

When you add a Job server to the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform system, you can configure the Job server to process reports, documents, programs, or publications and send the results to different destinations, including file systems, and email, or accessed through web sites or portals. If the Job Server is not able to send reports/documents to a particular destination, it could be because the destination specification is invalid/unreacheable. To isolate such invalid/inaccessible destinations, use the Adaptive Job Server Destinations test. This test checks whether/not the Job server is able to send documents to a destination, and if not, reports that destination as invalid or unreachable.

Target of the test : A SAP BOBI Node

Agent deploying the test : An internal/remote agent

Outputs of the test : One set of results for the Adaptive Job server running in the node monitored.

Measurements made by the test
Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation

Is file system destination valid?

Indicates whether/not the server is able to send documents to the file system destination configured for it.

 

The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
True 100
False 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the Job server is able to send documents to a configured destination. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.

Is FTP destination valid?

Indicates whether/not the server is able to send documents to the FTP destination configured for it.

 

The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
True 100
False 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the Job server is able to send documents to a configured destination. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.

Is Inbox destination valid?

Indicates whether/not the server is able to send documents to the Inbox destination configured for it.

 

The values that this measure can report and their corresponding numeric values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
True 100
False 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the Job server is able to send documents to a configured destination. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the Job server is able to send documents to a configured destination. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.

Is SAP Streamwork destination valid?

Indicates whether/not the server is able to send documents to the SAP StreamWork destination configured for it.

 

SAP StreamWork is an enterprise collaboration tool, which allows real-time collaboration of business activities such as analyzing data, planning meetings, and making decisions. It incorporates technology from Box.net and Evernote to allow users to connect to online files and documents, and document-reader technology from Scribd to allow users to view documents directly within its environment.

One of the key advantages of integrating SAP BOBI with SAP StreamWork is that Crystal reports and Web Intelligence documents, which are a product of the SAP BOBI system, can be sent to SAP StreamWork for viewing and analysis.

If, post this integration, the Job server is not able to send documents to SAP StreamWork, then the value of this measure will be False. If documents are successfully sent to SAP StreamWork, the value of this measure will be True.

The numeric values that correspond to these measure values are discussed in the table below:

Measure Value Numeric Value
True 100
False 0

Note:

By default, this measure reports the Measure Values listed in the table above to indicate whether/not the Job server is able to send documents to a configured destination. In the graph of this measure however, the same is represented using the numeric values only.
