Decision Topic and Reports

You can import an existing Decision 10.1.x Topic and Reports (T&R) application. The import process creates a navigation structure in that matches the T&R navigation structure. All 10.1.x report URLs are converted to correct syntax.

  • If any of the topics in the source T&R database reference the DPMain.asp file but do not include the View name parameter, you will see a warning message. You must modify the imported URL to include the view name.
  • A navigation group is created for each T&R application that has users assigned to it through T&R's Application Membership feature. The name of the group is the same as the name of the T&R application. The group contains the users that were assigned to the application. These groups are then used to restrict access to the navigation items imported for the corresponding T&R applications.
  • If you import an application multiple times, each import is added to the navigation. The result is duplicate navigation items. If you need to reimport an application, delete the original imported application before importing the application again.

Before running the import, copy any directories containing customized pages from the DeciWeb directory on the 10.1.x server to the CPM\Web directory on the CPM Server computer. For example, if the customized files are in the DeciWeb\MyFiles directory, they should be copied to the CPM\Web\DeciWeb\MyFiles directory.

To import a T&R application:

  1. Open the Navigation Administration page.
  2. Click the Import Navigation tab.
  3. Select Decision Topic and Reports.
  4. Select the database type.
  5. Specify the user name to log into the 10.1.x views database.
  6. Specify the password for the database user.
  7. Specify the name of the database server where the 10.1.x views database resides. If a SQL instance is used, it must be appended to the name.
  8. Specify the name of the 10.1.x views database.
  9. Select the import option.

All the applications should be displayed in the top navigation menu.
