...

Parameter

Value (example)

Description

sm_rpt_CustomReportDir

C:\Custom Reports\TestReports

This is the location of the directory containing the custom reports.

 

sm_rpt_CRS_CustomReportDir

C:\Custom Reports\TestReports 

This is the name of the folder containing the custom reports. The folder must belong to the user defined in the CRS setup (defined in Install ServiceAnalytics Deploying Crystal Reports Server (CRS) Version).

 

sm_rpt_CustomReportMenuCache

YES or NO

(Defaults to YES, i.e. cache the report menu)

The custom reports menu is cached on initial use, and reloaded from this cache on each user access. This saves time on each subsequent log on, however live custom report updates are not reflected on the menu and require a Web Server restart.

Warning

N.B. You should not install your custom reports within the Web Application directory structure as, during upgrade, this directory may be updated, causing your reports to be lost. It is safe to set this location to a directory at the same level as your ServiceManager modules directory, see section Install ServiceAnalytics Deploying Standard Version
