Bravo Dashboard is free software for MultiValue users that seek to create meaningful data portals known as dashboards. The key difference between Bravo Dashboard and other Dashboard Tools is that Bravo Dashboard depends upon a Pick BASIC programmer to write the dashboard widgets. There is little-to-no learning curve for a Pick programmer to start building widgets — even with no web development experience at all.

Bravo Dashboard allows an administrative user to configure multiple dashboard pages, each with a different layout and collection of widgets. The widgets and dashboards can be restricted to certain users, or made available to all dashboard users. Managing users, widgets and dashboards is done through the administrative web-interface.

Currently it can be downloaded and installed on Linux, AIX or Windows for D3, Universe or Unidata. Support for JBASE coming soon.

Bravo Dashboard is free software and is provided “as is” and WITHOUT any express or implied warranties, including, without limitation, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

I just started working with the product today. I am getting an error message on the server

AppServer has encountered a fatal runtime error


Module execution failed!

Url is :

http://192.168.101.9:8088/

What does this mean ?

I am installing on Unidata on windows.

The SBDB-UDT-INSTALL.TXT is still rrunning at the moment. I had to reduce the file transfer
rate to eliminate data loss.

This error indicates that the app server is unable to get into the UDT environment and run the WDB.INIT program. This is generally due to an error in the [dbc] section of the configuration file. Feel free to send your configuration file via email for inspection. lbucklin at sierra-bravo.com.

I can not find the sbdb.vtf file in tmp? I downloaded Version 1.1 for D3/Unix which is needed to install the SBDB Account.

User Luke Bucklin

We'll get that added back in there. For now, if you pull the sbdb.vtf file from the 1.0 release, you can use that to restore the account. Then, follow the upgrade instructions (paste the install TXT file for D3 into TCL after logging into the SBDB account).

I've reassembled the BravoDashboard 1.1 distribution files for all platforms. If you have run into problems with the distribution in the past, they should be resolved, now.

I'm on HP-UX but not the Itanium version. Do you have a version that I could use with our version - B.11.11, HP-UX 11i v1, PA-RISC.

Thanks

Howdy!
Is it just me or does the v1.1 ZIP file for windows (sbdb_11.ZIP) NOT contain the bravodashboard.exe???
That's the single most important file that we need.... can't install anything without it!!!
Please fix ASAP!!!

Thanks for pointing that out, the file is now included in the .zip download. Sorry for the confusion!

The ZIP file is still missing the bdboard.conf file - setup wont continue without that file. It has the sb_appsrv.conf from the unix setup instead.....

Can someone PLEASE verify that the setup works from the file that is put on here before it is made available for download??? Saves a lot of time and effort for everyone.

Just tried upgrading to 1.1 running on a windows machine. It doesn't appear that it is completely installing. I first noticed a problem because the logon and auto-refresh are trying to display images that don't exist. Investigating, I found the docs file in the windows install is actually docs.tar so isn't extracting properly to create The Docs file is actually docs.tar so isn't extracting properly to create the images, stylesheets, and other folders that existed in our previous installation

Tried to install the Dashboard for Unidata running on Windows but cannot find the file referenced in the documentation i.e. SBDB-UDT-INSTALL.TXT

Can you point me in the direction of where this file can be downloaded from please.

Your Dashboard works great and is easy to use (D3). I can't get the colors to work on pie or bar charts. I've used the hex codes and get no changes from the default colors (which are ugly, btw). Any help?

User Luke Bucklin

Thanks for the feedback! There are some problems with the colors for the charts. We are working on version 1.1 which will be available in the next few weeks. The new version adds new charting features and it gives you more control over the colors. It also has additional useful features.

There doesn't seem to be any way to download the dashboard :( Most of the links don't work.

Excellent! Any chance of sb_appsvr binary for HP-UX v11.23i on the Itanium (ia64) platform?

User Luke Bucklin

Yeah, we can do that. But we may need access to your machine and GCC to make the build. Give me a call, Colin.

Hello Luke,

I should have mentioned that I am outside North America and work in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is probably not that easy to give you access to our test system.

However, HP have some demo systems available, that only require you to register and obtain a password. You should be able to compile (static link of libraries?) your code and produce an HPUX "depot" for HP-UX 11.23 (11i v2) on Itanium.

The link is http://www.testdrive.hp.com/

Thanks,
Colin L.

If you have screen shots of widgets you've made, or source code to widgets you'd like to share, please send them in and we'll get them posted on the site.

Very nice. Liked the use of Flash charts to add some pizzazz.
Bravo Dashboard is MvInternet on steroids.
Was easily able to recreate DB.ADMIN and Contact Management (WCM) demos with minimum effort.
Look forward to the Windows port.
