Install and Configure the Report Database

To provide Reporting Data to users, a database and its type have to be defined in the configuration file for the web application - Customer.Config (Automic\Release.Manager\WebUI\customer.config).

To Install and Configure the Report Database

Tip: Save the Database in the following folder: C:\Automic\Release.Manager\Database

1. Define the database for storing the reporting data tables.

   Note: When you use the CDA database for reporting data, the reporting data tables are created among the other CDA database tables.
   Tip: Create a dedicated database for reporting data.

2. Adapt the configuration file customer.config (Automic\Release.Manager\WebUI\customer.config) as follows:

   • Set the ReportDatabase connection string for the SQL database where the reporting data is saved.

   • Set the ReportDatabase.Type to the SQL database back-end which is used.

     For more information, see Configuring CDA via Customer.Config File.

Now your CDA system is ready to process Report Definitions.

Note: For more information about creating Report Definitions (Automic\Release.Manager\ReportDefinitions), see Configuring Reporting Data.
