Description:
How to update infoview preferences for all CLARITY users:
You can update all infoview users preferences with one single procedure instead of asking users to login and change it manually.
Solution:
Go to: <BO installation directory>\Dashboard and Analytics 12.0\setup
Under this path you will find two files prefsCopyUtil.jar and prefsCopyUtil.properties. Open the prefsCopyUtil.properties in an editor (ie: notepad). The file looks something like this:
# The CMS to use. CMS=<CMS name> # Administrator user s password. AdminPassword=<password> # User to copy preferences from. SourceUser=administrator # All users in this group will have their preferences changed to be a copy of # the SourceUser s preferences. TargetGroup=<target group name>
Update fileprefsCopyUtil.properties with right settings, see below an example:
# The CMS to use. CMS=MyBOServerName
# Administrator user s password. AdminPassword=MyBOAdminPassword # User to copy preferences from. SourceUser=administrator # All users in this group will have their preferences changed to be a copy of # the SourceUser s preferences. TargetGroup=CA-PPM-Reporting-User
Copy these two files (prefsCopyUtil.jar and prefsCopyUtil.properties) to your Java bin directory:
[...] Retrieved preferences for administrator. Copying to all users in group CA-PPM-Reporting-User. Copied preferences to user admin. Copied preferences to user monitor_admin. Copied preferences to user csk.admin. Copied preferences to user Test. Preferences were copied successfully. [...]
Verify users under "CA-PPM-Reporting-User" group have the same InfoView Preferences than user administrator
