Crystal Reports in 12.x
The r12.0 SP2 Policy Server installer no longer includes the reports files (.rpt) that are compatible with Crystal Reports 9.0. SiteMinder reports are now integrated with the r12.0 SP2 Administrative UI. A separate installer is available to install the Report Server. The Report Server is required to schedule and view reports, including the reports available to you in r6.x.
Consider the following:
- You can continue to use the report files with a Crystal Reports server to schedule and view reports during the migration. An r12.0 SP2 Policy Server can communicate with an r6.x audit logs database.
- The Policy Server upgrade removes the r6.x reports data source. Create a backup of the r6.x reports data source.
- The last step in the migration is to install the Administrative UI and discontinue use of the r6.x Policy Server User Interface. Once you have completed the migration, you cannot access the report files. Additionally, you cannot access reports that were created using the reports files from the r6.x Policy Server User Interface. If you require access to these reports, we recommend backing them up before discontinuing use of the r6.x Policy Server User Interface.
- You can schedule and view reports that were available to you in r6.x using the r12.0 SP2 Administrative UI.
Note: For more information about installing the Report Server, see the Policy Server Installation Guide. For more information about scheduling and viewing reports, see the Policy Server Administration Guide.
