Datazen Dashboard Files Restore


I am new to Datazen. I have two Datazen Severs for Dev and Production. I want to move the Datazen dashboards from Dev to Production.

Can you please let me know how to achieve this. I have checked the CP but didnt find any such option to restore the files.

Your help is much appreciated.


Solution

  • If you are looking for an easy Import/Export..the answer is NOT POSSIBLE.

    You should be able to use DZ backup & restore Feature to transfer a COMPLETE Server. But this "resets" the targetserver to the state of sourceserver.

    So far I didn't find any way to transfer selected content like KPI-,Dashboard-,Datasource-Definitions :(

    KPI- and Datasource Definitions you need to create them manually on server2 via "Control Panel".

    Published Dashboards As soon as your dashboard uses a external datasource (a datasource configured on DZ-Server) it's not possible anymore to publish to another HUB or to another Server. (BTW: You also can't spread datasources and dasboard accross HUBs)

    Exceptions: If you have a Dashboard without ANY external data you can transfer between Servers using the Publisher Client: - Browse on Server1 the Dasboard1 - Select "Create from existing" - Select "Publish" and publish to Server2 as Dashboard1
