Issue/Introduction

Is there a way to import User definitions into Web Viewer 14? Web Viewer 12.1 can export User Definitions in an XML file. Can Web Viewer 14 read them?

Environment

Release : 12.1

Component : CA OUTPUT MANAGEMENT WEB VIEWER FOR ALL PLATFORMS

Release 14.0

Component: Web Viewer

Resolution

No.  You cannot migrate user definitions from 12.1 Web Viewer to Web Viewer 14.0. 

This is because Web Viewer 14.0 does not store user information.   It does not have a user table.  Web Viewer 14.0 relies on the CA View repository security to log in users.  To login to Web Viewer r14 the user needs to have a valid z/OS credentials for the system where their application server is running.

There are only two utilities provided with Web Viewer r14 for conversions:

  • One to migrate repositories from a DRAS Config File.
  • One to migrate export rules.

 

 

Additional Information

See the section Security Requirements in the online documentation for details on the Web Viewer r14 security requirements.
