A.3 Running the Report Development Utility

You can use the /opt/novell/sentinel/bin/report_dev_setup.sh utility to set up the report development environment. This utility does the following:

To run this utility:

  1. Log in as novell user.

  2. Change to the following directory:

    cd /opt/novell/sentinel/bin/
    
  3. Run the following command:

    ./report_dev_setup.sh
    

    A warning message is displayed, indicating that the Sentinel server will be restarted after the script is executed.

  4. To continue running the script, press 1.

  5. Specify the root password when prompted.

    The script opens the database port, updates the firewall configuration files, and modifies the configuration files and database files.

  6. When you are prompted to change the rptuser password, continue without changing the password.

    or

    Specify a password for rptuser and reconfirm the password.

    The rptuser password is randomly generated during the installation of Sentinel. It is a recommended practice to change it here.

    The Sentinel server restarts.
