When you've finished configuring your Esri map component in Esri Maps Designer, you can preview the dashboard to verify how the dashboard consumer will see and interact with the map.
Due to differences between the underlying frameworks of SAP BusinessObjects Dashboards and Esri Maps for SAP BusinessObjects, you cannot preview an Esri map-enabled dashboard using the standard SAP Dashboards Preview button. To view and interact with an Esri map in an SAP dashboard, you must either save the dashboard file to your SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform and view it in SAP BI Launch Pad, or publish the dashboard to an HTML file stored on your application server and view it in a supported web browser.
To preview the interactive Esri map in a web browser, you must publish your dashboard to HTML.
For example, the default location on Tomcat is C:\Program Files (x86)\Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat 6.0\webapps\em4bobj.
To preview an interactive Esri map on the SAP BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform, you must save your dashboard to the platform and view it using BI Launch Pad.
