 Hi, in this tutorial, we'll see how to apply the BDSSA license hotfix for Windows operating systems. Log on to the FTP location to download the hotfix. Extract the BDSSA license hotfix zip file at a temporary location. As we are using the Windows operating system, we will use the BDSSA hotfix installer windows.nsh file. Open the command prompt from the same temporary location. To stop and restart, the BDSSA server enter Y. To continue with the default backup location, enter Y. It might take 15-20 minutes depending on the number of users present in the Cognos portal. With this, we have completed the first part of the hotfix installation. Now a fetch file is created that contains a list of all the portal users with their reporting capabilities. This list comes from the Cognos portal. Now to continue using the portal, create a sync file at the same location by referring to the fetch file. The next step is to run the Manage Cognos Capabilities utility. This utility maps the portal users with their reporting capabilities depending on the licenses purchased. Ensure that the sync file does not contain the BL admin or RBEC admin users because these are built-in users who will not be mapped in the reporting portal and are skipped during the sync process. Ensure that the username, site name and authorization are correct in the sync file. Ensure that ETL is executed after creating or updating users in TrueSight server automation. Also ensure that you append those users to the sync file. Ensure that each user in the sync file has been assigned at least one role with reporting capability in TrueSight server automation. Ensure that each user in the sync file has been assigned correct reporting capability as per TrueSight server automation. Ensure that you have added only those users to the sync file for whom you have the licenses. Open the command prompt from the same location. Execute ManageCognosCapabilities.nsh file with minus s parameter. This file is applicable for both Windows and Linux operating systems. After you run the utility, all the valid users listed in the sync file along with the reporting capabilities are created in the Cognos portal. You can now log on to the portal using any of the user accounts that are present in the sync file. Ensure that the built-in product usage report is having correct information based on purchased licenses. Thank you for watching this video.
