Manually creating the reporting user

Starting with HPE Consumption Analytics Portal 4.0, the installer creates the reporting user. This article explains how to manually create the reporting user if you need to recreate this user.

To create the reporting user

1. In a text editor, open the file <install_dir>/<tomcat_version>/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/database.properties.
2. Add the following two lines, choosing any username and password valid for your DBMS, and save the file:
      reporting.username=<reportUser>
   reporting.password=<reportPassword>

   For example, use the following lines to create the user ccreport with the password rep0rtp@ss:
      reporting.username=ccreport
   reporting.password=rep0rtp@ss

3. Open a command prompt and change to the directory:
      <install_dir>/bin
4. Run the command:
      dbupdate

​The dbupdate utility reads the database.properties file and creates the reporting user specified there.
