Issue/Introduction

A comparison of Deliver databases revealed that there were Report IDs missing in the desired target database.

In wanting to copy Report IDs from one Deliver database to another, the RMOUTIL utility's COPY function was used, and message "RMOURR11  REPORT xxxxxxxxxxxx DOES NOT EXIST" was generated. 

What caused the message to be generated?

Environment

Release : 14.0

Component : CA Deliver

Resolution

The reason for the message:

  RMOURR11 REPORT xxxxxxxxxxxx DOES NOT EXIST

being generated by the Deliver RMOUTIL utility's COPY function is because the specified report record does not exist in the receiving database.

The COPY function requires the report to exist in the receiving database.

The basic unit within Deliver definitions is a Job, where reports are then associated to a job.

A report cannot be copied just by itself, as it is possible to end up with "orphan" entries in a database, resulting from reports not being associated with Jobs.

If necessary, first copy the Job record to which the report is defined.

So long as there is, at the minimum, a fundamental report defined in the receiving database, the COPY function could then be used to copy the full complement of attributes of the report to the new database.
