Issue/Introduction

This guide introduces how to install JasperReport Server 6.2 and integration with Identity Manager 12.6.8. In addition, there is a section describing possible errors a user could potentially encounter when installing or configuring the integration with Identity Manager 12.6.8



Environment

Windows 2012

Tomcat 7

Java JDK 1.8.0_111

JasperReport Server 6.2

Resolution

<As of 6/28/2018, Tibco Jasper 6.2 is end of life by Tibco:

https://community.jaspersoft.com/wiki/jaspersoft-product-version-end-life-schedule

This document is provided as is as Broadcom IM 12.6.8 and Tibco Jasper 6.2 are now both end of life>

For simplicity, this guide will use locations in the root directory of the C:\ drive.

 

Tomcat 7 would be located in C:\Tomcat7

Java would be located in C:\Java\jdk1.8.0_111

 

After downloading JasperReport Server 6.2 from the CA Support website, move the zip folder onto your Desktop of the Windows server that will host the Report Server. Extract the folder contents and change the folder name to CABI. (Note: The reason this is done is because the installer complains about the folder name being too long)

Afterwards, navigate to the folder ...\CABI_JasperReports_Server_6_2_Windows\ca_install.

 

In the folder, "...\CABI_JasperReports_Server_6_2_Windows\ca_install" should have 2 types of files:

 

sample.properties and sample_Oracle.properties

 

The sample.properties file is used for a MS SQL Server Database versus the sample_Oracle.properties for an Oracle Database.

 

In the below example, sample.properties is used for MS SQL Server 2012. On this guide is a sample to use, please replace information in <BRACKETS> to the requested information to have the installer proceed successfully.

 

Sample Properties File

 

 

src="/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=0150c000004AJqyAAG" alt="jasperSample.png" width="809" height="813">

 

 

In the same folder, run this command: install.bat -r CA_sample.properties -l <<install.log>>

 

This will launch the installer for the JasperReport Server product.

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.
