How can I install the sample rpts activity universe

Question

We have an install of boe xi r2 but no sample reports.  I created / setup the auditing database and downloaded the boexir2sp2 collaterals from the esd and need to know how to install?  Can the collaterals / sample reports be installed on a disk other than the system C: disk of the server running boe?

Answer 1

Yes, we are using crystal reports. 
I look at the Activity Universe properties and the connection = Auditing Connection
I go to Universe Connections the connection named Auditing Connection Exists, but there are no other properties.
The system DSN for the auditing database is on the server and named Crystal11Audit and does connect to the auditing database.
I open crystal, connect to repository, under Enterprise items the Auditor folder exists and has the sample reports.
I open the failed jobs report, set datasource locations, I see the report datasource, and the Universe Query
I'm not sure how to:....
Check whether the connection is fine or not, and it points to the correct Database Service.
Use the proper client, if not using the DSN.
I can navigate to current connections and use the dsn to the audit database and connect to the audit database but I don't know how to veriffy or reset the report to use that connection as I'm not getting any ability to 'replace with'  by selecting or creating any other connection...
Hi Bart,
Are you using Crystal Reports?
We can check whether the connection is working fine or not, by creating a new report from the activity universe.
Check whether the connection is fine or not, and it points to the correct Database Service.
Use the proper client, if not using the DSN.
If we are not able to create reports based on the activity universe, logon to the Universe Designer, and then import the Activity Universe, and then edit the connection to the 'Finish', and then export it, and try to create a new report.
If we are able to create a new report, then we should be able to refresh sample reports.
