Where can I find BOE XI R1 sample auditing reports?

[allan_carruthers]

Hi there,

I'm trying to track down the auditing reports that came with or were available for BusinessObjects Enterprise XI R1. Does anyone know where I can find these? The sample auditing reports for XI R2 are easy to find (with the accompanying Universe), but the XI R1 reports seem to be lost..

Thanks!

Hi Allan,

When BusinessObjects Enterprise XI Release 2 was first installed, a custom install was used and sample reports were not selected.

The sample audit reports and universe connection information are contained in the file m29.cab. This file is located in the win32 folder of the installation media.

Perform the following steps:

1. Open the m29.cab file using an uncompression tool, such as WinZip.

2. Extract the file auditing_rpt_en_biar.65FF9700_720A_4759_AB8C_5E33BA2E32D3.

3. Rename the extracted file to "auditing_rpt_en.biar".

4. Depending on the type of auditing database you are using, extract the file auditing_db_<dbtype>.biar.65FF9700_720A_4759_AB8C_5E33BA2E32D3 file.

5. Rename the extracted file to "auditing_db_<dbtype>.biar", where <dbtype> represents the database type you are using.

6. Using the Import Wizard, import the biar file for the database connection first, and then the report biar file.

These are the steps you have to follow as per the note.

Hope this helps you.

Hi there,

Thanks for the prompt response.

Will these reports and accompanying Universe work in R1?

Thanks,

In answer to my latest question, a .biar can't be imported into R1. Does anyone recall there being canned auditing reports for R1?

Thanks,
