Hi, I've been asked to research something. We're using MR with dashboards, and we need to set up about 400 users in managed reporting. Does anyone know of an automated way to do this? I suppose we would use a spreadsheet or some other file as input. Thanks in advance!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Mike in DeLand, Webfocus 8 Windows, Linux | ||

Mike, What security are you using? If AD then there are VB Scripts available that will help. T

Hi, We do have AD for our network type security, but I'm not a network or security expert. What I need is a way to insert records into the managed reporting database with user id, password, what domain and groups they're in, etc. Thanks! Webfocus 8 Windows, Linux | |||

Mike, AD for your network security, but what about MRE? If it's not in AD then disregard the rest of this post. As the Groups, Roles, Priveleges and Users are all "linked" it would not just be a case of a script for the users, you would have to deal with the entire repository in one go. If your repository is within AD then you'll be able to use the VB Script examples to set your user load. I am fairly sure that there are examples somewhere in the server install or the security manual? If your AD people loaded the MR subschema into AD using information from the manual(s) then they may be able to assist (would probably insist on being involved anyway if they are "true" AD people  )T

We are using MR Realm Driver with an Oracle database for MR security, if that helps. Webfocus 8 Windows, Linux | |||

You can load users to MRE using Web Services. There is a Web Service for each of the administrative functions in MRE (add a new user, group, domain, user permissions, etc) WF 7.7.04, WF 8.0.7, Win7, Win8, Linux, UNIX, Excel, PDF | |||

Hi Mike, I do not know of any scripts available that will do this for you. I did have some that loaded existing HTML based to MS SQL repository but they wouldn't have helped in this case. You might try contacting your local IB Prof Services department to see if they have encountered this requirement before? Good luck T

Thank you very much! I found and read the documentation on this. The sad part is, it would probably take me longer to develop a .net program to do this task than it would to just manually enter the users through the interface, since I'm not much of a .net programmer. Appreciate the replies! Webfocus 8 Windows, Linux | |||
