About this task

To configure report scheduling, complete these tasks:

1: Verifying administrator permissions for report scheduling

Procedure

  1. Open the Apache Tomcat Manager
    • If you are running Apache Tomcat as a Windows service, open the Control Panel and, in the Apache Tomcat row, click Admin. Then click Manager App.
    • If you are not running Apache Tomcat as a Windows service, open the Apache Tomcat Manager in a browser in the following format: http://server:port/manager/html

      Example: http://localhost:8080/manager/html.

  2. Open the tomcat-users.xml file, which is located by default in $CATALINA_HOME\conf\tomcat-users.xml.

    <user username="rpe_master_admin" password="password" roles="rpe_docgen_admin,rpe_library_admin,rpe_monitor_admin,rpe_scheduler_admin"/>
