Symptoms

When trying to configure Bizagi ODS following the guidelines explained in our user guide (http://help.bizagi.com/bpmsuite/en/index.html?configuring_bizagi_ods_for_ana.htm), the configuration does not work and is not possible to use this feature.

Cause

Sometimes the configuration for ODS does not work, for versions 10.7 or previous. It is necessary to activate AnalysisDSNDB and AnalysisPROVIDERTYPE keys in Bizagi web config.

Solution

1. Open the web.config file (located in C:\Bizagi\Projects\[ProjectName]\WebApplication) using the text editor of your choice.

2. Add the following keys:

<!-- ODS configuration-->
    <add key="AnalysisDSNDB" value="Data Source=[DBDataSource];Persist Security Info=True;User ID=[user];Password=[password];Initial Catalog=[DBName]" />
    <add key="AnalysisPROVIDERTYPE" value="[DBProvider]" />

Where:

[DBDataSource]: URL of the server where the web application is found.
[user]: Database user.
[password]: Database user password.
[DBName]: Database name.
[DBProvider]: Data base provider (MSSqlClient, Oracle, etc)

3. Save the web.config file and restart the service.
