Import security settings to a new RtReports server

You must have exported the old security database settings to a security.xml file and installed a new version of RtReports.

Import the security settings from the old RtReports server stored in the security.xml file to the new RtReports server. You can do this task from a command prompt or the Admin menu in RtReports editor.

1. From a command prompt:

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

   2. Type the command:

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

      where PIServer is the name of your PI Server.

      This imports the security.xml data, applies the same privileges to the new RtReports server, and exports results to results.xml.

   3. Apply the changes and restart IIS by entering the command: IISRESET.

2. From the RtReports editor:

   1. Sign in to the RtReports editor using an administrator account.

   2. Click Admin > Import Security File, then OK to open the file selection window.

   3. Select the XML file to import and click Open.

      After the file imports, a message window opens prompting you to restart the editor to refresh the settings.

   4. Click OK and restart RtReports editor.
