Schedule the BOXI_GRLoader Program Object

You set the appropriate parameters before scheduling the BOXI_GRLoader program object in CA Business Intelligence. Setting these parameters helps ensure that the program object schedules successfully. Update the BOXI_GRLoader program object during the patch installation or configure it manually.

To schedule the BOXI_GRLoader Program object

  1. Log in to the CMC or InfoView and browse to the following directory:
    InfoView

    \Public Folders\CA Reports\CCA to CMDB

    CMC

    \Folders\All Folders\CA Reports\CCA to CMDB

  2. Right-click BOXI_GRLoader program object and select Schedule.

    The Schedule page appears.

  3. Perform the following steps:
    1. Enter a Title for the Instance.
    2. Select Recurrence from the left pane and set the option that you want, such as Now, Hourly, or Daily.
    3. Select the Program Parameters option (Arguments) which lists the default value that is specified during the installation and import of the BIAR file (may contain the default command line of -cfg C:\conf.txt).

      Note: For more information about arguments that you can pass to GRLoader, see the CA CMDB r12.7 Technical Reference Guide.

    4. If you set the CA CMDB command options (Arguments) through conf.txt, verify that the Working Directory, Class to run, and Classpath Program parameters are relevant, such as the following example conf.txt file:
      grloader.userid=ServiceDesk
      grloader.password=Service@123Desk
      grloader.server=http://CASDMhostname:8088
      grloader.inputfile=c:/GrLoader/XML/cmdbexport.xml 
      grloader.errorfile=c:/GrLoader/XML/cmdbexport.xml_err.xml
      grloader.nxroot=C:/GRLoader
      grloader.allowupdate=yes
      grloader.allowinsert=yes
      grloader.overwriteerrorxml=yes
      

      Note: From the previous sample, locate grloader.inputfile to the same directory that the CA CMDB Export report exports to XML. The name of the report XML should be same as the scheduled CA CMDB Export report XML.

    5. Select Events from the left pane of Schedule BOXI_GRLoader and verify that the Successful_Report_XML_Event is selected by default as the Event to wait for.
    6. Select Program Parameters from the left pane and verify that the Default Setting values set for Arguments, Working Directory, Class to run, and Classpath Program parameters are relevant.
  4. Click Schedule.

    The program object is scheduled.
