The metric definition server URL might be incorrect if you are creating a data model in SAS BI Dashboard and you select SAS Human Capital Management as a Data Source. The incorrect URL is displayed as:

@midtier.hcmmidtier.url@@webapp.hcmmidtier.contextroot@/services/HcmWS

To correct this, you need to modify the SAS Human Capital Management metric definition file for SAS BI Dashboard, by following the instructions below.

1. On the middle tier of your installation, change directory to

   <SASconfigdir\Lev1\AppData\SASBIDashboard4.2\dataSourceDefs>

2. Make a backup copy of the <hcm_metrix.dsx> file.
3. Open the <hcm_metrix.dsx> file for editing.
4. Find this line:

   <WSUrl>
   @midtier.hcmmidtier.url@@webapp.hcmmidtier.contextroot@/services/HcmWS
   </WSUrl>

5. Replace

   @midtier.hcmmidtier.url@@webapp.hcmmidtier.contextroot@

   with the following value:

   http://server-name:port/SASHumanCapitalManagement

6. Save the <hcm_metrix.dsx> file and re-start the SAS Managed Servers.

After restarting the servers/services, you should see a metric definition server URL similar to the following:

http://server-name:7201/SASHumanCapitalManagement/services/HcmWS
