Export group privileges before an upgrade

If you want to use the group privileges of the old RtReports server on the new RtReports server, store the security database in an .xml file and replace references to the old RtReports server with the name of the new RtReports server before you upgrade.

1. Open a command prompt window on the old RtReports server.

2. Navigate to the folder containing the RtReports executables, at %PIHOME%\RtReports\bin.

3. Enter the following command:

   OSISoft.RtReports.SecuritySettings.exe "\%OSI\RtReports" "PIServer" "" "" "C:\security.xml"

   where

   • PIServer is the name of your PI Server; and

   • C:\security.xml is the target location for the security.xml file that the command creates.

4. Open the security.xml file in a text editor.

5. Find and replace all references to the old RtReports server name with the new RtReports server name.

6. Save and close the file.
