Adding the Reports Manager role

After creating the database for the Reports Manager, you must add Reports Manager role on the Cloudera Manager.

Minimum Required Role: Limited Cluster Administrator (also provided by Full Administrator and Cluster Administrator)

Perform the following steps for adding the Report Manager role:

  1. Log in to the Cloudera Manager Admin Console.
  2. On the Cloudera Manager UI, navigate to Cloudera Management Service > Instances > Add Role Instances.
  3. Select a host for Reports Manager. Ensure that you select the host where the database was created while Setting up the database for Reports Manager.
  4. Provide the details for the database that you have created while Setting up the database for Reports Manager.
    1. When you select Oracle as a database type, Cloudera Manager prompts for a username, password, and database SID.
      For a database created according to the example in Setting up the database for Reports Manager, the database SID is the name of the Pluggable database, and the user details are those of the user created by CREATE USER (rman and ***user password*** in the example).
    2. For other database types, you need to specify a database name in addition to a username and password. These details are as defined in the SQL while Setting up the database for Reports Manager.
  5. Start the Cloudera Management Service when the Reports Manager role is ready. See Starting the Cloudera Management Service.
