Usage Of Flash Variables As Import Parameter For A Dashboard In A Portal Environment

Abstract

Systems and method for using flash variables as import parameters for a dashboard in a portal environment are presented. One or more values that define a portal environment that displays a graphical dashboard are determined. The dashboard is adapted to display in the portal environment graphical representations of data from a data source connected with a backend system. A flash object is generated for retrieving selected data from the data source connected with the backend system based on a request for the data from the dashboard, and for generating the graphical representations for the dashboard. One or more flash variables corresponding to the one or more values are generated, the one or more flash variables defining the selected data of the data source to be retrieved based on the one or more values. The one or more flash variables are inserted into the flash object for retrieving the selected data from the data source.
