Environment Details

RHEL 7.2

Tomcat 8 (Download link: Apache Tomcat® - Apache Tomcat 8 Software Downloads  )

Java JDK 1.8.0_121 (Download link: Java Archive Downloads - Java SE 8 )

JasperReport Server 6.3

Oracle Database 12c

 

In this example, we are going to use sample.properties for our Oracle 12c. I have attached a sample one onto the document to use. Please replace information in <BRACKETS> to your reqested information to have the installer proceed successfully. For configuration of Oracle Database 12c, this guide is making the assumption the database is setup and configured already.

 

In the same folder run this command: install.sh -r sample_oracle.properties -l <<install.log>>

 

Using the sample.properties file provided in this guide, notice how the dbUsername attribute uses the "c##jasperserver". No matter what version of Oracle 12c you are using c## must be added to the beginning of the username. Everything else you can provide as guided in the properties file.

 

Average install is 1 hour and 40 minutes

 

If needed please follow the guide here for integration with CA Identity Manager 14.1:

Configuring JasperReport Server 6.3 for use with CA Identity Manager

 

For Oracle, the Jasper_oracle_reports.zip file is available in the following location:

    2. Right-click the IAM folder and click Permissions.
    3. In the Permissions dialog, click User.
    4. Select Read Only to assign a user read-only permission to the IAM organization. 
    5. Click Apply.

    1. Navigate to ViewRepositoryrootOrganizationsIAM, IM, datasources.
    2. Right-click the datasources folder and click Permissions.
    3. In the Permissions dialog, click User.
    4. Select Read + Write to assign a user read and write permission to the datasources folder.
    5. Click Apply.

 

Copy the Required Files to CA Business Intelligence JasperReports® Server

During CA Identity Manager installation, the installer creates the Jaspersoft token authentication key file (iam.jks) and the iam.properties in the following folder:

\CA\Identity Manager\IAM Suite\Identity Manager\tools\JasperKeyGen\keystore\

The installer copies these files to the following corresponding folders based on the application server type:

JBoss:

<JBOSS_HOME>/modules/com/ca/iam/cajasper/main/

WebSphere:

<WAS_HOME>/properties/

WebLogic:

<WEBLOGIC_HOME>/config/cajasper/

Follow these steps:

  1. Copy the iam.properties file and iam.jks file to the config folder under the WEB-INF folder, in the CA Business Intelligence JasperReports® Server computer. 
    Example:

    <TOMCAT_HOME>\webapps\<web_application_name>\WEB-INF\config\

    <web_application_name>
            Specifies the name of the web application mentioned in the sample-properties file while installing the JasperReports Server.
    Restart the Tomcat server in the CA Business Intelligence JasperReports® Server computer.

 

Possible Errors

First be sure to clear the /temp folder in the Tomcat directory.

 

This could either be a permission issue or the folder simply does not exist. To resolve the folder issue make sure to import the folder and follow the steps from the section "Configuring JasperReport Server 6.3 for use with CA Identity Manager".
