Administration Portlets
There are several administration portlets that control the functions of the DASH portal. To access them - login as an administrator and select Jetspeed Administration Portlets and click on MARVELit Admin
Setting Defaults and Default Data Base Connection
Selecting MARVELit Administration displays a page for setting the default data source, setting data maps and adding/updating data sources.
The first section is setting some default values and connections. The first selection Log Level tells DASH to write values to a log file on the portal server. The available selections are:
None: Nothing is written to the log file
Error: Only Errors are written
Warn: Only Warnings and Errors are written
Info: Only informational messages are written
Debug: Everything is written - including each sql query executed by every portlet
Obviously - setting the Log Level to Debug would be helpful in error correction. A production portal should have its log level set to None.
The second section is the Default Admin User Role - leave this value set to admin.
Finally - specific connection values are stored for the Default Connection Database. This connection information is used by the system to access the database where the DASH specific tables are stored. Once this is established - it should not need to be changed unless their is a server migration event.
