Run the Registry Script

For the Identity Management Server to change data sources for reports in the Report Server, run the mergeConnection script.

Follow these steps:

  1. Install and startup a X-server on your client operating system. (You can download X-Win32 from http://www.starnet.com/products/xwin32/download.php)
  2. Log on to Linux by BOE installation account and run bash as below:
     bash$ export DISPLAY=$YOURXWin32ClientSYSTEMNAME:0.0
     bash$ echo &DISPLAY
     bash$ cd $INSTALLDIR/bobje/setup/
     bash$ source env.sh
     bash$ regedit
    

    where $INSTALLDIR is where BOE is installed.

  3. Switch to X-win32 client system and there will be a prompt Registry Editor if the configuration is successful in step 2.
  4. Create a registry category under HKEY_LOCAL_SYSTEM: HKEY_LOCAL_SYSTEM\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions
  5. Add a key named MergeConnectionProperties under DatabaseOptions category and set the String value to Yes.
  6. Add a key also named MergeConnectionProperties under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Business Objects\Suite 12.0\Crystal Reports\DatabaseOptions category and set String value Yes as it's Data.
  7. Refresh or schedule report in Infoview and now it works.
