Administering SAS BI Portlets

Modifying the Display Interface for SAS BI Portlets

Beginning with the November 2010 release, SAS BI Portlets can be displayed in either Flash or HTML interface. During installation, the SAS Deployment Wizard gives you the choice to select the type of interfaces that are used editing and viewing SAS BI Portlets. After deployment, if you want to change the interface from Flash to HTML or from HTML to Flash, you do so by modifying the values for the properties in Configuration Manager.

Modify the Display Interface for SAS BI Portlets

To modify HTML-based interfaces to Flash interfaces for the SAS BI Portlets, follow these steps:

In SAS Management Console on the Plug-ins tab, navigate to Application Management Configuration Manager BI Portlets 4.3 and right-click to display the BI Portlets 4.3 Properties dialog box.
Select the Advanced Tab.
In the Property dialog box, the following property names and values are displayed:

Property Name: Use.HTML.For.Portlet.Rendering.Edit

Property Value: FALSE

Property Name: Use.HTML.For.Portlet.Rendering.View

Property Value: FALSE

If you currently have Flash-based interfaces, and want to change them to HTML-based interfaces, enter TRUE for both properties.
Click OK to exit the BI Portlets 4.3 Properties dialog box.
To enable these properties to take effect, restart your Web application server.
