In the Reporting Services Installation Validator, provide the location
of the Framework Services server, the Framework Services user ID, and password:
- Framework Services Location
-
Provide the fully-qualified domain name for the Framework Services server.
- Framework Services User ID

This is an administrator user.

-
On Global System Settings, specify this information:
- Repository Location
-
A location where Reporting Services creates a directory to store published files and save report history files.
You can change this location by updating the system settings for Reporting Services after the installation is complete.
Leave this field as
C:\
if you want the defaultC:\LawsonDocuments
directory created. - Repository Location is Available to Report Application Server
-
Select TRUE for improved performance for large reports.
You may need to switch RAS to not run as a local or domain user, not the system user, for the service to have access to it. The same path must still be available to Infor BI for Lawson as well.
For example, if you specify
C:\ReportRepository
as the Repository location and TRUE in the Repository Location is Available to Report Application Server then both the Reporting Services server and the RAS server have access toC:\ReportRepository
.If the Repository Location is Available to Report Application Server is set to FALSE, then only the Reporting Services server needs access to
C:\ReportRepository
. - Archive Location
-
Enter a location where Reporting Services can store reports when they are archived. This file system location must already exist within the file system.
You can change this location by updating the system settings for Reporting Services after the installation is complete.
