How I did alfresco-buisness reporitng

[bisana]

Hi
After repeated trial and try I am now able to install ABR (Alfresco Business Reporting). The installation instruction given in the
<url> http://code.google.com/p/alfresco-business-reporting/wiki/Home#Installation </url>
<url>https://code.google.com/p/alfresco-business-reporting/wiki/AdvancedInstallation#Configure_JNDI_in_To... </url>
are good and should be must refered, but it misses the point of where to keep the jar file "alfresco-business-reporting-share-0.8.0.1.jar". Now since I know how and where I did keep the jar and amp installation, I thought I will post it so that new comers like me can benift


This is done for alfresco 4.2.c (which has java 7)
(a) Install AMP

java -jar /opt/alfresco/bin/alfresco-mmt.jar install /home/urname/Downloads/ABR/alfresco-business-reporting-explorer-0.8.0.1.amp  /opt/alfresco/tomcat/webapps/share.war -verbose ‍‍

(b) copy the the jar file ie "alfresco-business-reporting-share-0.8.0.1.jar"  to
  <b> /opt/alfresco/tomcat/shared/lib/ </b>

© create DB as given instruction in <url> http://code.google.com/p/alfresco-business-reporting/wiki/Home#Create_your_Reporting_database</url>
(d) For Alfresco CE 4.2.c , create  alfresco.xml  in "/opt/alfresco/tomcat/conf/Catalina/localhost/" with the following lines

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Context>
  <Resource name="jdbc/alfrescoReporting" auth="Container"    defaultTransactionIsolation="-1" defaultAutoCommit="false"     maxActive="15" maxIdle="3" initialSize="1" 
    username="alfresco" password="alfresco"  url="jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/alfrescoreporting"  driverClassName="org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"   type="javax.sql.DataSource" />
 </Context>
                                                                                                     
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

(e) Edit alfresco-global.properties

Hi, thanks for this post. Was your Alfresco installed with Postgresql or MySQL?

Also, the directory /tomcat/shared/lib doesn't exist on my installation so I created it and then put the .jar file in there, but on the UI I still do not see any additional features , such as execute the harvest. What am I supposed to see?

Thanks
