Deploy Default Reports

CA Identity Manager comes with default reports you can use for reporting. BIConfig is a utility that uses a specific XML format to install these default reports for CA Identity Manager.

To deploy the default reports

1. Be sure that the JAVA_HOME variable is set correctly, and that you have JDK1.5 installed. If you plan to install the Report Server on a 64-bit Windows system, be sure that you are pointing to JDK1.5 (32-bit version) and not Windows AMD-64 bit version.
2. Gather the following information about the Report Server:
   • Hostname
   • Administrator name
   • Administrator password
   • Snapshot database type
3. Navigate to one of the following locations:
   • For BusinessObjects XI R2 SP4:

     im_admin_tools_dir/ReportServerTools/BIConfig_2.1/biconfig

   • For BusinessObjects XI 3.0 :

     im_admin_tools_dir/ReportServerTools/BIConfig_3.0/biconfig

4. Run one of the following commands:
   • For a Microsoft SQL Snapshot Database:

     biconfig -h "hostname" -u "administrator_name" -p "administrator_password" -f "ms-sql-biar.xml"
     

   • For an Oracle Snapshot Database:

     biconfig -h "hostname" -u "administrator_name" -p "administrator_password" -f "oracle-biar.xml"
     

   Note: In a UNIX operating environment, be sure that biconfig.sh has execute permissions.

5. View the biconfig.log file found in the location where you ran the command in Step 4.
6. Verify that the default reports installed successfully. Check the end of the log file for status; a successful install appears as follows:
   • BusinessObjects XI R2 SP4: [InstallEntSdkWrapper.main] BIAR File Imported successfully
   • BusinessObjects XI 3.0: ReportingDeployUtility - Reporting utility program terminated and return code = 0
