Deploy Default Reports

CA IdentityMinder 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 IdentityMinder.

If you are upgrading from a previous version of the Report Server, first remove the CA Identity Manager Reports folder using the Central Management Console. The existing reports do not work. You can then deploy default reports for the new Report Server.

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

Follow these steps:

1. Gather the following information about the Report Server:
   • Hostname
   • Administrator name
   • Administrator password
   • Snapshot database type
2. Copy all content from the Reports installer-root-directory/disk1/cabi/biconfig folder to the im_admin_tools_dir/ReportServerTools folder.
3. Set the JAVA_HOME variable to the 32-bit version of the JDK1.5 you installed.
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. Inspect the end of the log file for status; a successful install appears as follows:
