RELATED IDEAS

Report Builder should support changes of UserID of a Jazz User without loosing all owned reports

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

If the UserID of a Jazz User is changing, Report Builder is not able to find all the reports of the user, he is Owner, Creator, added as additional owner etc..

Report Builder should synch changes of the UserID with JTS or use a UserID indepandent UUID to reference reports

There should also be a way to change Owner ship of one or many reports in one shot.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The IBM Engineering team has carefully reviewed this idea, and based on our understanding, it does not fit our plans. Idea comment suggested using UUID but the problem is that each application creates its own UUID for each user based on information from JTS. Hence, this would require idea to start from the domain application and then pass it to the JRS. Even in that case, there could be conflicts with UUID from each domain and this would need to be solution engineered across all ELM applications. Therefore, process provided by IBM support to manually update JRS owner is the good approach. In the future, Report Builder 7.0.3 will have simpler process to update report owners and this could be used in that case.

    Although we are closing this request, it will be kept in IBM's ideas repository.  We value your feedback and thank you for allowing us to partner with you in developing our products.

    • when you load the page My Reports, RS issues a, http request to /jts/whoami

    • in response, it gets the user account URL for the logged-in user. If the user ID has been changed, the URL will include the new user ID, for example https://server:9443/jts/users/newUser

    • RS then checks this URL against its Jena DB (specifically, the file nodes.dat in server/conf/rs/db). The DB contains the user account URLs of report owners, and they don't get renamed, for example https://server:9443/jts/users/oldUser

    Other applications, like CCM, use the UUID, like one in this URL: https://piotr:9443/jts/admin#action=com.ibm.team.repository.viewUserProfile&itemId=_DuEAIIz7Ee2O6Kv-QluJKQ to identify users. This UUID is stable even after the user ID is changed.
