To view the scorecard it is necessary to generate it from the defined model. Once it has been generated, it is possible to view the scorecard through the O3 Scorecard Viewer component.
You may generate the scorecard in two ways:
- From O3 Scorecard Editor while the model that defines the scorecard is edited.
- Running a command from command line in the operating system.
Generating the Scorecard from the Editor
To generate or build the scorecard follow these steps:
- Choose the corresponding button that lets you perform this operation from the Toolbar. Unable to render embedded object: File (worddave5bcbd2e437283b2651e7fb50991574f.png) not found.
- Indicate where to save the generated scorecard in the dialog box displayed following step 1. To do so you must choose a type of location for the scorecard being generated from the following options:
- Local Files: The scorecard is generated in the file system.
- Remote Files: The scorecard is generated in O3 Server.
- Recent: This option makes the generation of a previously generated scorecard easier.
- Define the scorecard name to be generated in the previously indicated location:
- Local Files: A directory must be chosen and the name you wish to give to the scorecard must be entered.
- Remote Files: The name of the scorecard must be entered. The first time you access the server you must enter a username and password to log in.
- Recent: Choose a name from the list displayed. This option is useful when you are updating an existing scorecard.

The generated file containing the scorecard has a bsDat extension and the name entered by the user. In case of choosing an existing name, confirmation to overwrite it is requested from the user.
Once the scorecard has been generated, it is available for viewing with O3 Scorecard Viewer or from an Internet browser in its HTML version.
Generating the scorecard from the command line
There is a "BSCGen" command to update scorecards from the command line.
The executable file BSCGen.exe, in the "bin" directory under the installation directory can be run in Windows as well as in other operating systems.
Besides it is possible to run the corresponding script in Windows systems as well as in other systems.
In Windows, the script is called BSCGen.bat and is in the bat directory under the installation directory.
In other systems, the script is called BSCGEN.sh and is located in the "sh" directory under the installation directory.
This command-line program uses a properties file with several settings required to update the scorecard. This file is typically named "O3BSCGenerator.properties", however a different file can be indicated if necessary.
These are the properties included in the file:

gclient.server.port |
Port where O3 Server listens. |
gclient.server.name |
Server Name |
gclient.server.host |
