Configuring Quest Knowledge Portal

In order to configure the Report Manager so that you can publish reports, you must provide:

•	The reporting services URL that hosts QKP as configured in SSRS. This must be entered in the form http://servername/ReportServer/ or http://servername/Reports.

•	A user account for accessing the reporting services URL. The account must have access to the URL.

•

A shared data source, to be used by all reporting administrators. If the data source doesn’t exist, it is created. You can use an existing data source by entering its name. The data source is automatically linked to your Enterprise Reporter database. You need to provide an account that is able to access the Enterprise Reporter database and has been given appropriate rights to read collected data from the database. The account needs to be in the Reporter_Reporting_Admins or Reporter_Reporting_Operator groups.

Only reporting administrators can configure and publish to Quest Knowledge Portal.

For information on configuring Quest Knowledge Portal, see the product documentation included on your CD or download package.
