Travis,
There are two things going on here and that's probably where the confusion in your last post comes from. The connection between your SAP Dashboards page to MII and MII to your Database (using IDBC). I am referring to the connection between SAP Dashboards and your MII instance...which version of the SAP Dashboards Plugin are you using? You can download the plugin directly from your MII Menu -> Content Development -> Tools and Archives page:
Then you can follow the steps outlined here in the help to load it into SAP Dashboards:
SAP Business Objects Dashboards Integration - Content Development - SAP Library
I think this was introduced in MII 14.0 but you may have it as a back-ported feature for 12.2; I can't recall and don't have a 12.2 server handy to verify. I only actively maintain the current and a previous GA release versions of MII, so I have 15.0 and 14.0, but our support team could verify this as well as they have all releases.
If not, perhaps an upgrade is in order to take advantage of the newer features...the highlights of which between 12.2 and 15.0 are:
- KPI Framework - Persist and aggregate data across various time ranges
- Plant Information Catalog (PIC) - Manage ERP PM & PP(-PI) context around your sensor network and tag infrastructure
- SMP & O365 integration - Drive mobile app data and also data for MS Office 365
- SAP OEE - Predefined/Integrated content on top of ERP, MII, and HANA (Live or Enterprise)
- Self-Service Composition Environment (HTML5) - Drag and drop HTML5 objects on a web page to build your own reports using your browser
- HTML5 UI objects - All applets now have HTML5 counterparts (including SPC)
- Remote Admin & Configuration of SAP Plant Connectivity (PCo) - manage the setup of your PCo trigger and notification payloads using MII Admin pages; integrated with PIC so there is ERP data in the notifications
- Deployment on and with SAP HANA - For details and use-cases go here: SAP MII, HANA/ESP and Lumira (Technical)
If you have additional detailed questions please just let me know and I can walk you through our recent innovation topics and strategy (Yes, we are already planning & prototyping our 15.1 release topics).
Regards,
Sam
