Converting an Existing Sisense Widget to a Dynamic ComposeSDK Widget Component
Using either the widget Sisense API's, or the Sisense widget JS API object, it is possible to determine all components and parameters of a widget required to create an equivalent dynamic ComposeSDK widget component. This approach allows the extraction of all components and parameters of a widget, enabling the creation of an equivalent dynamic ComposeSDK widget component without directly referencing or relying on a specific widget or dashboard ID. The metadata of an existing widget contains all the information needed to create a dynamic version of an existing Sisense widget. It is also possible to use an existing widget ID and dashboard ID to render an existing widget in ComposeSDK, but this does not take full advantage of the capabilities of ComposeSDK to generate new widgets directly.Setting up Docker Registry for Sisense Offline Installation
An offline, or air-gapped, Sisense environment provides higher security than online, connected environments. As the offline environment has no outside communication, the only method to install Sisense in this environment is by using removable media, such as USB drives. The system must have the following in place to complete an offline installation: A Bastion host with Docker installed (Recommended) A secured Docker registry that is accessible to the offline environment The Registry is a stateless, highly scalable server side application that stores and lets you distribute Docker images. In case of Sisense offline installation Docker Registry is used to distribute the Sisense images within an isolated network. Next article provides steps on how to install and configure the Docker registry.
