You can import individual metrics from the IBI WebFOCUS server. To do this, the metric (.fex) file must exist in the application directories on the WebFOCUS server (by default, c:\ibi\apps). When you successfully import a metric, Serena Dashboard displays information about the WebFOCUS synonym and data adapter that the metric uses.
To import metrics:
Log into Serena Dashboard as an administrator.
Select Administration | Metrics | Import From Server. A list of all available .fex files on the IBI WebFOCUS server appears.
Select the metrics that you wish to import, and click Import Selected Metrics.
Select the Administration | Metrics view.
The metric you just imported appears here. Select it and click the Edit button.
From this screen, you can add the metric to a package, enter a description, copy and paste a direct URL to the metric, display information about the synonym and data adapter that the metric uses, and set access level for the metric.
Click OK.
