Applies to: Kyvos Reporting

iPackager is a utility in Kyvos Reporting that helps extract repository objects and configuration settings from the Kyvos Reporting repository or file system. It stores the extracted references in a configuration file (.conf) that can be used to build a CAB file. The CAB file can then be deployed to another Kyvos Reporting instance using the Deploy Repository Bundle feature.

Configuration File Location

After creating a configuration file, it is saved on the Web Server at the following path:

<Kyvos Reporting_Installation_Location>\Jakarta\webapps\Kyvos Reporting\client\config\ipackager\conf

You can specify a custom name for the configuration file (e.g., my_backup.conf) and make changes to it before building the CAB file.
