Administration Console Setup

Configuring the database metadata can be done within the Exago Administration Console. These bullets detail the terms used in Exago that are consistently referred to in both the guides and the application.

  

Data Sources

Add a data source by entering the Administration console http://<YourServer>/Exago/Admin.aspx

Assemblies - Assembly=C:\PATH\DLL_NAME.dll;class=ASSEMBLYNAME.NAMESPACE

Web Services - url=http://HOSTNAME/PATH/SERVICENAME.asmx?OPTIONALPARAM=VALUE

Files - File=C:\PATH\FILENAME;Type=FILETYPE where FILETYPE is 'excel', 'xml', or 'excelXml'.

 

Building Metadata

Multiple Data Objects and joins can be created at once via Exago’s automated Discover Database Metadata function.

 

Click either the Discover Database Metadata icon(  ) or right click the source name and select Discover Object/Join Metadata, as shown on left.

 

 

NOTE. Items with a () next to their checkbox, are incomplete items.

NOTE. Incomplete items that are added to the Data Source will require completion of the fields before adding them.
If the data source does not have the metadata set, it is possible to complete this process manually, explained in Manually Creating and Adjusting Metadata.

  

Verifying the Report Path

NOTE. If this step isn’t complete, see Manually Creating and Adjusting Metadata.
