This article explains how to delete a Dataplane report that is created by another user.

 Instructions

In the Dataplane app, there is a REST API that we can use to change the owner of an existing report.

We can use this to assign the report to ourselves (or another user) and then delete the report from the report directory.

The URL format looks like this. https://<jira-URL>/rest/dataplane/latest/report/

{id}/admin?newOwner={username}

In this case, {id} is the long alphanumeric ID that you see when running a standard report using the normal method.

  1. Login to Jira as Jira Administrator.

  2. For example, a report that you would run with the following URL,

    https://{YOUR_JIRA_DOMAIN}/secure/DataplaneReport!default.jspa?report=f3f67d5e-3c74-4980-b470-9b2dff59a637&action=run

  3. Can be changed to a new owner by pasting the following URL in your browser. Here, enter the username in place of {NEW_OWNER_USERNAME}

    For example, this will be {NEW_OWNER_USERNAME} changed to {testuser1}.

    http://{YOUR_JIRA_DOMAIN}/rest/dataplane/latest/report/f3f67d5e-3c74-4980-b470-9b2dff59a637/admin?newOwner={NEW_OWNER_USERNAME}

    Sample URL:

  4. Go to the Arsenale Dataplane Reports.

  5. Verify under the My Reports section that the report has been added here.

NOTE: Before you access the above REST URL, you must first authenticate yourself as a Jira administrator in the browser. An easy way to do this is by going to Dataplane Reports -> Administration and entering your username/password if you are prompted.
