Backing Up and Moving Custom and Saved Reports

Custom reports are created when a user selects File | New | Custom Report. In the Web Report Wizard, the user selects the data source and fields to be used in the report. The user can also select the grouping options, sort order, and filters to create a custom report. Typically, the user views his or her custom reports under the [My Reports] folder.

In addition to custom reports, users can also create customized “saved” versions of the standard reports. To do this, a user browses to a report, sets specific filter settings, and selects File | Save Report Settings.

When you remove MessageStats, all the standard reports are removed but any custom reports and saved reports are still in the _Users folders.

In the instructions that follow, it is assumed that your current MessageStats reports web site is using the default location of C:\inetpub\wwwroot\messagestatsreports. If you are unsure of the location of your virtual directory, use the IIS console to verify the path. Check the Home folder tab of the virtual directory properties.

To move custom and saved reports
1
Open Windows Explorer.
2
Expand the treeview to display the following directory: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MessageStatsReports\Reports\_Users.
The individual user directories in which custom reports (.qrp files) and saved reports (.qsrs files) are saved are located in the _Users directory.
3
Copy the _Users directory to a directory to be used for backed up reports.
In addition to the _Users folder, custom reports can be saved under Corporate reports which are located in the following path: C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MessageStatsReports\Reports\#0010_[Corporate Reports].
4
If you have custom reports that are saved under [Corporate Reports] in the Web Reports console, copy the \#0010_[Corporate Reports] folder to the backup location.
5
Restore the custom reports by copying the backed up _Users directory and the #0010_[Corporate Reports] to the following directory on the new server:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MessageStatsReports\Reports
6
On the new server, for each user folder in the _Users directory, assign Full Control permissions to the corresponding user.
 
Administrators can save custom reports not only in the [My Reports] folder but anywhere in the MessageStats reports tree. For example, if an administrator saved a custom report under the Servers folder, the resulting .qrp file is saved to the following folder path:
C:\inetpub\wwwroot\MessageStatsReports\Reports\#0100_Servers
