Import the BIAR file

You import the BIAR file to view CA Business Intelligence reports for CA Server Automation. The BIAR file consists of CA Server Automation reports and universes. All users must import the BIAR file manually to view reports in the Enterprise Java InfoView application.

Follow these steps:

  1. Access the CA Automation Suite for Clouds media.
  2. Copy the contents of the DVD1\Reports directory into the installed destination folder on the CA Server Automation server.

    For example: C:\Program Files\CA\Server Automation\Reports.

  3. Apply read/write permissions to the Reports\BIConfig directory.
  4. Modify the am_biar_import.xml file and replace the required properties.

    This file contains information for the BIAR file name and DB credentials.

    Boxi XML

    Important! For security reasons, clear the DB credentials from the xml import file after the BIAR file is imported.

  5. Modify the importCABIReports.bat file and set the CA_DPM_HOME environment variable: 
    SET CA_DPM_HOME=C:\Program Files\CA\Server Automation
  6. Run the importCABIReports.bat utility.

    The BIAR file is imported.
