Trying to move a PA Dashboard from dev to test via update set. How does the "pa dashboard" itself get added to the update set?

Mike Stockman1 · ‎12-29-2015

I've followed instructions from wiki:

Moving Dashboards with Update Sets

Dashboards are not automatically transferred in Update Sets. You must manually add the dashboard to the update set.

Navigate to Performance Analytics > Dashboard.

Inspect the HTML element for one of the dashboard tabs.

Find the element containing sysparm_view=pa_

Record the value following sysparm_view=, such as pa_incident_overview. This is the View of the dashboard portal page record.

Navigate to Homepage Admin > Pages.

Find the portal page record with the View value you previously recorded.

Right-click the record and select Unload Portal Page.

The page is added to the current update set.

But when I import the XML from the completed update set, it only creates the pages that I unloaded.

Where does it create the actual dashboard that these pages become tabs on?

Did I miss a step?

Thank you,

Mike

I know this is a LONG time after your post but - yes - you can move updates from one US to another, just open the record and you will see the US in a ref field at the bottom - OK as long as you are careful and keep "batches" of updates together - I focus on the Created and Updated dates to be sure I have identified all associated changes.

i can't find a table for sys_grid_canvas.list... in fact i can't find any table with canvas in the name.. what version of SNOW is this in?

NM found the issue.. that table is only needed for responsive dashboards.

Hi Karen,

i tried your steps , i couldn't find any file under sys_grid_canvas.list , so i skipped step no 7.

i committed update set to prod and now i'm getting error below. how can i fix this?

that would imply you missed part of step 1 Navigate to Homepage Admin > Pages and perform Unload Portal Page for each of the appropriate pages

the page is set in the dashboard admin but i am betting it can't find the page.. unload it into an update set and move that update set.

the canvas is only needed if it is a responsive dashboard <responsive is true and you are on jakarta or newer>
