How to: |
The Managed Reporting Extract utility is run on the machine where WebFOCUS is installed. You can use Telnet or another form of remote access to execute the utility when it is not possible to physically be at the WebFOCUS machine. For convenience, a batch file is provided to call the utility with standard arguments.
Note: If you are using the Realm Driver to authenticate to another directory, you need to modify the batch file (mrextract.bat) so that the classpath includes the necessary .jar files.
A series of messages appear:
----------------------------------------------- Managed Reporting Repository Extract Utility WebFOCUS Release 7 ----------------------------------------------- Extracting MR User Data... Extracting MR Role Data... Extracting MR Group Data... Extracting MR Domain Data... Extracting MR Domain Content Data... Finished. Press any key to continue . . .
The utility creates the output files in the WebFOCUS76/utilities directory. For information about the format of these files, see Managed Reporting Extract Utility Output Files. For information about reporting from these files with WebFOCUS, see Reporting From Extract Files.
The underlying program that extracts information from the Managed Reporting Repository is written in Java and is contained in the archive WebFOCUS76/utilities/IBIExtractRepos.jar.
You call the program by using the following arguments
java –cp archivepath ibi.util.IBIExtractRepos configpath option [option] > outputfile
where:

Is the full or relative path to the directory containing the WebFOCUS Web application's deployment descriptor web.xml (for example, d:\ibi\WebFOCUS76\webapps\webfocus76\WEB-INF). From this file, the value of webfocus_client_root is read and used to determine the location of the WebFOCUS script files.
Program options include [-users] [-roles] [-groups] [-domains] [-domaincontent].
