Usage Note 32858: SAS® Web Report Studio application properties should be maintained in a local file that is not affected by re-deployments
The configuration and properties files for SAS Web Report Studio are located on the middle-tier server on which SAS Web Report Studio is deployed. One of those files is the WebReportStudioProperties.xml file, which contains application property settings for SAS Web Report Studio. For example, this file includes settings for performance, clustering, pooling, styles, disclaimers, and SAS Web Report Studio roles.
Because the WebReportStudioProperties.xml file can be overwritten by subsequent installation activities such as applying a hot fix, you should set your application properties in a LocalProperties.xml file, which is stored in centralized location that is not affected by subsequent installation. Settings in the LocalProperties.xml file override conflicting settings in the WebReportStudioProperties.xml file.
Note: Although many of the properties for SAS Web Report Studio 4.2 are maintained by using the Configuration Manager plug-in to SAS Management Console, some properties are still maintained in the LocalProperties.xml file. For details about the Configuration Manager, see Using Configuration Manager.
Follow these steps to create a LocalProperties.xml file.
- Depending on which version of SAS Web Report Studio that you are running, locate the
LocalProperties.xml.sample file.
- For version 3.1, the file is in the SAS installation directory. An example of this location on Windows is
C:\Program Files\SAS\SASWebReportStudio\3.1\customer.
- For version 4.2, the file is in the SAS configuration directory. An example of this location on Windows is
C:\SAS\EntBIServer\Lev1\Web\Applications\SASWebReportStudio4.2\customer.
- Make a copy of this file and name it
LocalProperties.xml.
After the file is created, make sure that you use it to modify properties that you do not want to be overwritten. Restart your servlet container after making changes.
Note: For version 3.1, if you need to make this change for the SAS Web Report Viewer, the LocalProperties.xml file is in sas-install-dir\SASWebReportViewer\3.1\customer. If you have SAS Web Report Studio 4.2 installed, then you typically do not have SAS Web Report Viewer.
