Today we got one support ticket in which user had
mention that he is facing some problem with respect to performance point
services. Further problem reveals the fact that he is trying to connect to
performance point service by means of Dashboard Designer and getting the
following error message:
This data source cannot be used because
performancepoint services is not configured correctly
How exactly this theory
works-
If the network has not been set up for a Kerberos
delegation on a per-user identity basis, PerformancePoint Services requires an
unattended service account. The unattended service account is set up in the
PerformancePoint settings, but can be set up only if the Secure Store Service
is set up for the web application. If either the unattended service account is
not set up or the Secure Store Service was not set up initially for
PerformancePoint Services, the application presents a message (when Dashboard
Designer is connecting to the data source) stating that PerformancePoint
Services has not been configured correctly.
Resolution:
We need to set unattended service account
and assign full control to PPS service application.
Here are the details steps:
1)
Central Administration
2)
Application management
3)
Manage service applications
4)
Performance Point service application
5)
PerformancePoint Service Application
Settings
6)
Add the Unattended Service Account and Mark
Full Control
7)
That’s it. Check the results now.
It should be resolved now!
