Configure BOXI_GRLoader.jar

Use the BOXI_GRLoader.jar tool to auto-schedule GRLoader from CA Business Intelligence. This step is required only when you want to schedule GRLoader and the CA CMDB Export Report from CA Business Intelligence. You can use the tool when CA CMDB is installed on UNIX or Windows. At the time of configuring the program objects, add the JAR files to the CA Business Intelligence repository, or alternatively they can also schedule them in the same way as reports. After you import the BIAR file, the BOXI_GRLoader program object is imported automatically to the \CA Reports\CCA to CMDB\ folder.

  1. Right-click the BOXI_GRLoader program object and select Default Settings.
  2. Complete the Program Parameters fields:
    Arguments

    Specifies the arguments you want to pass while executing the GRLoader.

    Example: -cfg C:\myconf.txt

    Note: For more information about parameters or about how to configure the configuration file when you use the –cfg parameter, see the CA Service Desk Manager CA CMDB r12.7 Technical Reference Guide.

    Important! When you set the parameters to run GRLoader in CA Business Intelligence, do not pass -slump as an option in the GRLoader command. The slump port does not exist on the CA Business Intelligence server.

    The following example shows the minimum required arguments to run GRLoader from CA Business Intelligence:

    -s http://<hostname>:port -u <username> -p <password> <-i path to input file> -n -a -N <Path to the %ROOT%> -E
    
    Working Directory

    Specifies the directory where you copied the GRLoader Library files.

    Example: %ROOT%

    Class to Run

    Specifies the wrapper class you want to run.

    Example: cca2cmdb.BOXI_GRLoader

    Class Path

    Specifies the location of GRLoader.jar in the system and the directory where you copied all of the library JAR files related to GRLoader.

    Example: C:\MyGRLoaderLib\GRLoader.jar

    Important! If CA CMDB is not available on the same computer where you installed CA Business Intelligence, you must copy the files.

  3. Select Program Logon from the left pane and enter your login credentials.

    These credentials specify the operating system you used to access the working directory and JAR files you previous specified in the Program Parameters.

  4. Verify that you enabled the email destination in the Crystal Reports Job Server, select Destination from the left pane and perform the following tasks:
    1. Select Email from the Destination drop-down list.
    2. Enter an email address in the From and To fields.
    3. Enter CMDB Export Report as the Subject.
  5. Click Save and Close.

    The BOXI_GRLoader program is configured to execute with the correct arguments.
