Reading and writing dashboards
Dashboards are saved in Rogue Wave® JViews dashboard diagram (idbd) and (.idbin) files.
The
idbd files are XML structures containing the data necessary to render the dashboard diagram. Dashboards are saved in XML format by calling
writeDashboard and opened by calling
readDashboard.
The
idbin are binary files that contain the dashboard diagram. Dashboards are saved in binary format by calling
writeBinary or
writeBinary. They are opened by calling
readBinary or
readBinary.
Binary files are smaller, faster to save and load, and need less application memory when loading and saving. The dashboard XML format is more portable if you need to share dashboard files with applications based on different versions of JViews Diagrammer.
Using the compiled symbol Dashboard Reader
Instead of loading your dashboard binary file in an
IlvDashboardDiagram object, you can load it in a simple
IlvGrapher using the Compiled Symbol Dashboard Reader. See
Using compiled symbols in a runtime dashboard.
