Modify Report ID and Arch ID

CA View MODE EXP loses all connection to reports when the CA Deliver Report ID and or Arch ID is changed. CA View MODE EXP requires CA View to obtain a DIST ID for the report from CA Deliver. When you change the Report ID or the Arch ID, the database path to obtain the Dist ID is broken. CA View does not display the reports archive under the old report ID or Arch ID.

Therefore, we recommend that you do not change existing Report ID and or Arch IDs. Instead, leave the existing definition and create a version of the report definition (using COPY ALL) with the new Report ID or Arch ID. After the new definition has been created, modify the DDName associated with the old original report, for example, ‘DUMMY’ or ‘OLDRPT’, so that no new reports are processed under that definition.

Business Value:

This allows you to continue to view all of the reports archived under both the new and old Report ID and Arch IDs.
