configureanalytics

Use the configureanalytics program to upload and download custom reports between the Bravura Security Fabric server and the SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) report server.

A report file that exists on the report server can be viewed in the Analytics app. If users need to access the same reports from each replication node, a copy of the report file must also exist on the Bravura Security Fabric application server.

This program is also run by setup during installation and upgrade.

Note that to successfully publish custom reports from the instance server to the report server, these custom reports of file extension rdl must:

  1. Have the phrase HID-REPLACE.... in the proper format as shown below:

       <DataSources> 
    <DataSource Name="idmsuite"> 
         
     <DataSourceReference>/HID-REPLACE:ReportServer/DataSources/idmsuite 
     </DataSourceReference> 
         <rd:SecurityType>None</rd:SecurityType> 
    </DataSource> 
   </DataSources>

  2. Be under one or more sub-folders of the folder

    C:\Bravura Security\Bravura Security Fabric\instancename\analytics\ReportItems

  3. The report server has one report file: "Horse".

    analytics-report-on-report-server
