Update the Default Reports

Update the default reports to reflect changes made to reports for CA Identity Manager r12.5 SP3.

Important! This process will update all of the default reports. If you customized any of the default reports, be sure to back them up before performing the update.

To update the default reports

1. Unzip the importbiarfilestool.zip file on the machine where the Report Server is installed. This tool can be found in the following location:

   admin_tools\BIARTool

   Important! Unzip this file to the root folder of the drive where the Report Server (Business Objects) is installed.

2. Run the following file in the import-biar-tool folder:

   importIMBIARFiles.bat
   

   Note: Before running the previous file, ensure that the JAVA_HOME variable is set correctly and that you have JDK1.5 installed.

   Provide the following information needed to import the default reports:

   • Report Server Root Folder—location of the business objects install folder, for example, E:\Program Files\CA\SC\CommonReporting\BusinessObjects
   • Enterprise 1.5
   • Reporting Database Type—1=MSSQL, 2=Oracle

     Note: This is the database that the Report Server (CA Business Intelligence) uses to store its own data.

   • Reporting Database User—user created for the Report Database
   • Reporting Database Password—password for the user created in Report Database
   • Reporting Database DSN Name—the ODBC DSN name created
   • Reporting Database Name—the Report Database name
   • Reporting Server Administrator Name—The default is Administrator. If you have a different administrator name, provide it here.
   • Reporting System Password—reporting administrator's password entered during the installation
   • BIAR File Location—use one of the following:
     • admin_tools\imrexport\ReportDefinitions\IM Standard Reports\Ms-SQL_Reports\ms-sql_reports.biar
     • admin_tools\imrexport\ReportDefinitions\IM Standard Reports\Oracle Reports\oracle_reports.biar

   The default reports are imported in the IM Reports folder of the Report Server.

Note: After the import completes, you are asked if you want to remove the biekInstall.properties file. BiekInstall.properties contains sensitive information, such as user passwords. This file is not used again by the tool, but it can be kept for future reference.
