Analytics Block

The following provides detailed information about the Analytics Block window:

• Block Title: This field contains the title of the Analytics Block.
• Name: This field contains the name (as a hyperlink) of the Analytics Block.
• URL: This field contains the URL, entered by the user, and it must match the URL specified in the Unifier Configurator.

  Note:

  The URL protocol, server path, and port must all match; otherwise, the validation fails.

Example

If the URL is: http://slc44.us.oracle.com:7001/analytics, the Analytics URL must be: http://slc44.us.oracle.com:7001/analytics.

Note:

The system does not validate the other URL parameters, for example, the Dashboard name.

When you post the Analytics Block, it appears in the Source Details log and provides the following information:

• Block Title: Title entered by the user.
• Source Name: Same as the name entered in the Name field.
• Block Type: Analytics
• Result Type: Blank
• Display Type: Blank

The Analytics Block is also displayed in the Shell landing page. In the Unifier Analytics pane, you can select Analytics Dashboards to go to the shell dashboard in the Analytics server.

If a user does not have permissions to access the Shell dashboards defined in the Oracle Analytics Server, the link is disabled and displays as plain text.

You can add Analytics block to "My Dashboards." However, the link connecting Unifier to the Analytics server, from this "My Dashboards" is completely driven by the Access Control (see Access Control Changes for Analytics Node in User Mode Access).
