Run the Reporting Import Utility

Run the ImportUtility command (located in the <Installation_Directory>\InForm\bin on the Oracle InForm application server) using the following syntax:
ImportUtility -all
When prompted, enter the:
  • Cognos system administrator user namespace.
  • User name for the Cognos system administrator.
  • Cognos system administrator password.
  • Internal URI that the Oracle InForm server uses to communicate with the Cognos Analytics 11 server.

    This Cognos Analytics 11 parameter is set in the Cognos Analytics Customization for Oracle InForm wizard. The parameter setting is stored in the cogstartup.xml file and corresponds to the Reporting internal URI value on the System Configuration page in the Oracle InForm Admin user interface.

  • Name of the deployment package containing the reporting content you want to import into the Reporting server.
  • Password for the deployment package.
  • Custom Authentication Provider (CAP) namespace (informcap).
  • InForm study user with Reporting rights who is a member of the following Reporting groups:
    • Publishers
    • Either Sponsor User or Site users
  • Password for the Oracle InForm study user.
  • Name of the Oracle InForm study.
  • The organization ID is optional.

    This parameter is required only for Oracle-hosted studies in a single sign-on environment.

    Note:

    You can also pass the system administrator namespace, user name, dispatcher URL, and deployment package name in a parameter file. For more information, see the Installation Guide.

The ImportUtility command:

  • Creates a secure staging folder, accessible to users with system administration privileges.

    The name of the folder is SecureImport_<timestamp> where the time stamp format is yyyymmdd_hhmmss_sss, where sss represents milliseconds (for example SecureImport_20130920_172055_121).

  • Creates a new import specification object, accessible to users with system administration privileges.
  • Imports the content of the deployment package to the SecureImport_<timestamp> folder, and makes it accessible only to users with system administration privileges.
  • Copies the imported reporting content to the Reporting and Analysis Public folder.
  • Deletes the SecureImport_<timestamp> folder, any content it contains, and the import specification object.
For more information, see the Installation Guide.
