- Broadcom Support recommends to have a backup of your custom content at all times.
- A fresh backup of the custom content must be taken before each upgrade for Jaspersoft upgrade and Clarity
- The backup ZIP file must only contain the custom content and not any of the OOTB content
- You can save this backup locally and share with your company's file sharing application
- It can be used if you do a new Jaspersoft install of a new version and then importing your content
- It can also be used to replace missing/corrupt content
- To do a backup:
- Go to Clarity - Advanced Reporting - View - Repository
- Select the folder with the custom content (Important - do not export the OOTB content, just the custom content)
- Right-click - Select Export - Legacy Key - Save as ZIP file
- The ZIP file can be saved on your PC. It's recommended to use your typical file share to save this backup
- To import the backup again:
- Connect to Jaspersoft Console as superuser
- Go to Manage - Server Settings
- Select Import - Select Legacy Key
- Choose File to select the ZIP file - Import as Legacy & Update if need to override existing file
- Uncheck Include server Settings
- Uncheck any values that are not needed
- Click Import
Note:
As best practice, always keep the custom reports, ad hoc views and domains in a separate folder from the OOTB content, clearly marked as custom content and outside the CA PPM directory
