2.1 Getting started
2.1.1 Overview of the Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services Gateway
Dashboard Design is a data visualization tool that allows you to create dynamic, interactive dashboards.
These dashboards access live data, and you can add them to web-based dashboards.
Adobe LiveCycle Data Services is a development framework that allows you to create rich Internet
applications (RIA), establish communication interfaces, and share data sources between applications
in real time.
You must install the Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services Gateway (XLCDS) on an Adobe
LiveCycle Data Services (LCDS) server to establish LCDS connections within Dashboard Design.

3.1 To install the Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services Gateway
Before you install the Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services Gateway, ensure that your Adobe
LiveCycle Data Services (LCDS) server is installed and configured. For more information, see the
documentation in <MEDIADIR> on your installation media.
1.
Copy XLCDSServlet.class from <MEDIADIR>/classes/xcelsius/servlet to <LCDS
DIR>/classes/xcelsius/servlet
2.
Copy Xcelsius-config.xml (the destination list) and Xcelsius-config.xsd (the destination
list schema) from <MEDIADIR> to <LCDSDIR>
3.
Add <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> entries to <LCDSDIR>/web.xml
Note:
A sample web.xml file is included in <MEDIADIR>
Your LCDS Gateway is installed. Before you begin using the gateway, you must configure it.
3.2 To configure the Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services Gateway
Before you begin to use the Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services Gateway, you must configure
it by creating data destinations in your Adobe LiveCycle Data Services (LCDS) server. For more
information, see the documentation in <MEDIADIR> on your installation media.
1.
Open Xcelsius-config.xml in a text editor.
2.
Add a <destination> entry for each LCDS destination that you want to expose to the Dashboard
Design LCDS connection. Include the following elements for each entry:
•<id> Corresponds to a valid LCDS destination defined in messaging-config.xml (the LCDS
Message Service configuration file).
•<description> Provides details about the available data fields for the LCDS destination.
•<metadata> Describes the type of field and how the field should be mapped when bound to a
Dashboard Design range.
Note:
Xcelsius-config.xsd (the XLCDS destination list schema) defines the exact structure of the
XML in the file.
You can now start your destinations and connect to them from Dashboard Design.

4.1 To test the Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services Gateway installation
You can use a random number generator to test your Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services
Gateway installation. A sample generator is located in<MEDIADIR> on your installation media.
You can now use the random number generator on your LCDS server.
To test the random number generator service, start your LCDS server (For example, if you use LCDS
with integrated JRun, you can run C:\lcds\jrun4\bin\startJRun.bat)
When the LCDS server finishes initializing the server command prompt, it will begin to output strings
similar to the following:
4.2 To uninstall the Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services Gateway
To uninstall the Dashboard Design LiveCycle Data Services Gateway, you must delete the files that
you have copied to Adobe LiveCycle Data Services (LCDS) server.
1.
Stop your LCDS server.
2.
Delete XLCDSServlet.class from <LCDSDIR>/classes/xcelsius/servlet
3.
Delete Xcelsius-config.xml (the destination list) and Xcelsius-config.xsd (the destination
list schema) from <LCDSDIR>
4.
Delete the <servlet> and <servlet-mapping> entries from <LCDSDIR>/web.xml
Your LCDS Gateway is uninstalled.
You can now start your LCDS server.
