Note

Due to a known issue certain dashboards (e.g., analytics dashboard) do not load when using WSO2 DS with IBM JDK or Oracle JDK , versions 1.7 and 1.8. Therefore, to overcome this issue navigate to the <DS_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/portal/jaggery.conf file and remove the forward slash in-front of the welcomeFiles routers.
