Deploy the Report Package on a Report Portal That You Installed with CA ControlMinder r12.0

Valid on Windows

To make use of the standard CA ControlMinder reports, you need to import the report package file into BusinessObjects InfoView.

This procedure describes how you deploy a report package on an existing installation of CA Business Intelligence that you installed with CA ControlMinder r12.0.

Follow these steps:

  1. Insert the appropriate CA ControlMinder Server Components DVD for your operating system into your optical disc drive and navigate to the /ReportPackages directory.
  2. Create a temporary folder for the installation files:
  3. Copy the following files from the optical disc drive into the same temporary directory:
    RDBMS

    Defines the type of RDBMS you are using.

    Values: Oracle, MSSQL2005

    import_biar_config.xml

    Defines the name of the import configuration file (.xml) for your RDBMS.

    Values: import_biar_config_oracle10g.xml, import_biar_config_oracle11g.xml, import_biar_config_mssql_2005.xml

    Note: If you use MS SQL Server 2008 as your central database, configure the import_biar_config_mssql_2005.xml file.

    AC_BIAR_File.biar

    Defines the name of the CA ControlMinder reports file (.biar) for your language and RDBMS.

    Note: The <biar-file name> property of the import configuration file for your RDBMS points to this file. It is set by default to the name of the English version for your RDBMS.

  4. Insert the CA ControlMinder r12.0 Server Components DVD for your platform into the optical disc drive and navigate to the /ReportPortal directory.

    Note: This DVD is part of the media you received with r12.0.

  5. Complete one of the following steps:
  6. Copy the contents of the \ReportPortal\BO directory from the DVD to the C:\BO folder that you created.
  7. Open the target directory and browse to BO_files/biek-sdk.
  8. Edit your copy of the biekInstall.properties file as follows:
    BIEK_CONNECT_LAYER=networklayer
    BIEK_CONNECT_DB=rdms
    BIEK_CONNECT_USER=rdbms_adminUserName
