[CLOSED] ReportCaster bottask table domainhref value in external authorization setup
Hi,

I have converted internal MRE setup to external repository in WebFOCUS 766. I have extracted existing users/roles/domains/groups from user.htm, role.htm, mrepos.htm and loaded to the tables in the repository (using focexecs, scrips, etc).

I'm able to do user management activities successfully like create user, group, domain.

However, I am facing some issues when modifying ReportCaster schedules originally created in the internal mre setup. When I open an old schedule using standard reports, I get the message:
"Such Domain Can not be found"

I think this is because of the domainhref column value in the bottask ReportCaster table. It contains values such as untitled/untitled.htm However the WF_MRDOMAINS doesn't contain such a column. It has a domainid column which just has the id and no href - "untitled"

Also ReportCaster is not allowing me to delete the old schedules - it gives me the error message - domain can't be found.

Can anyone help me with this issue...

Thank you.

you might need to re-run the rcusersync utility after you have migrated you MRE repository

Hi Darin,

Thanks for the quick response.

I may be wrong but if I've read the online manuals correctly, is rcusersync utility used to synchronize the user info between the MRE and ReportCaster.

In my case, I'm able to login to ReportCaster and see the schedules. Its only when I try to modify the older ones which were created with External Authorization internal, that I get "Such Domain Can not be found" error.

I think the way the domain info is stored in ReportCaster Tables (bottask domainhref column) and the way it is stored in MRE table -WF_MRDOMAINS, is different or somehow not matching.

Any thoughts?..

Thanks.

Did you use the built-in utilities to extract your repository and migrate them? If so I would success opening a case with IBI Support and get their assistance.

In the directory ibi\basedir there is a file called mrrepos.htm. This file contains the domain name and domain href. When a domain is created, whether the authorization is internal or external, and entry is made to this file. The hrefs stored in ReportCaster must also be found in ths file (which they will be since when a schedule is created ReportCaster stores the href information). In the process of converting your basedir from internal authorizaton to external authorization you must preserve the domain href of any domain created under internal authorization if ReportCaster is to be able to continue to locat that domain.
