How to configure Web Viewer 12.1 to access Dispatch reports.

NOTE: You can only access reports in Dispatch online viewing. 

Environment

Dispatch

DRAS

Resolution

1) Put on related maintenance for DRAS 11.7 and Dispatch. See Article Id: 9768

     a. From the Administration tab, click the Repository sub tab. 
     b. Click Create. 
     c. Complete the following required fields: 

          - Repository name - you make that up. 
          - Select CA Dispatch as the Repository Type. 
          - DRAS discovery happens automatically, click the down arrow to see them -From the list, Select a Repository Location. 
          - From the Available Roles list, select the Roles that are to have access to this Repository and use the arrows to move  them to the Selected Roles list. 

          - Click Update in the upper right.
