Resolution
Where does the Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting user interface store report settings?
goal
When using the Directory and Resource Reporting user interface on a local client computer, does the Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting user interface store settings locally or on the Administration server?
fact
Directory and Resource Administrator 7.x
fix
Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting creates a local Microsoft Access database on each computer on which you installed the Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting user interface. DRA creates a separate local Microsoft Access database for each Administration server you run Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting against. DRA names the Microsoft Access database using the name of the Administration server the Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting user interface ran against.
By default, DRA saves all local Microsoft Access databases in the Program Files\NetIQ\DRA folder using the following naming structure:
OaRept-DRAServer .mdb
where DRAServer is the name of the Administration server Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting ran against.
Directory and Resource Administrator Reporting user interfaces installed on separate computers can run reports against the same Microsoft Access database and use different report settings, as well as maintain different report settings for different Administration servers without overwriting settings saved in local Microsoft Access databases.
