The HTML5 iDashboards, like the Flash iDashboards need a place for their data to live within the iDashboards structure. This will help you set up a database, set permissions and learn how to run a script. Setting up your SQL structure does NOT have to be stressful!
Please Note: HTML5 refers to v10.0 and above. Flash iDashboards are ANY previous version.
What you will need:
- SQL Server Login (the one used for your iDashboards setup)
- SQL Sever (MS SQL, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL)
Creating a SQL Database
We need to create your database in MS SQL (or MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL). Your Data needs a place to live within the iDashboards structure.
- Open MS SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS)
- Connect to your server.
- Right click on Databases
- Select New Database
- In the Database name box, type in YOUR database name here: idb_GoogleAnalytics
- For this we will be adding a Google Analytics Database.
- Click OK
- You've now created the database where your Google Analytics information will live.
Setting SQL Permissions
- Now we need to make sure your login used to connect SQL and your dashboards has the right permissions.
- Open the Security folder
- Open the Logins folder
- Select your iDashboards SQL user login
- Right Click on the user and select Properties
- In the top left Select User Mapping
- Click on idb_GoogleAnalytics and make sure it is mapped to db _owner by clicking the box next to db_owner in the list below.
- You've now set your SQL Permissions for the Google Analytics database.
Running the SQL Script
- Go to File
- Click on Open
- Select File again
- Select the Google Analytics Pack folder
- Select the GoogleAnaltycis.sql file
- Click the Execute button
- The data, and ETL jobs, will now connect with your charts, picklists, and dashboards.
Please Note: This is the same process you use for your iDashboards, idb_datastore, and idb_workbooks databases during the iDashboards installation process.
