CREATING A REPORT

A variety of reports can be created, with each being tailored to a particular aspect of data management. Through filtered criteria, the user can customize each report to include only the data that is required.

From the Tools window menu of the CommCell Console choose the Reports option.

Each report can be selected from the tree node of the Report Selection dialog box. The default Report option is Job Summary. Where applicable, filter options are available from the General, Computers, Selection, Options, Time Range, and Output tabs.

General Tab

The General tab allows the user to select filter options based on the selected report.

Computers Tab

The Computers tab allows for modification of the computers reported and/or the modification of the Agent Types (i.e. Exchange Mailboxes, SQL Server) reported.

Selection Tab

The Selection tab allows for further filter options including Diagnostic, Contents, Storage, Job Information, and Advanced Features.

Options Tab

The Options tab allows for modification of Backup Types, Job Status, and Throughput Unit of the report. By default, all Backup Types choices and all Job Status choices are selected. Additionally, the Throughput Unit is set to GB/Hour.

Time Range Tab

The Time Range tab allows the user to select a specific time range for the user report. The user may choose the default of Last 24 Hours, the user may choose to change the time range to Days instead of Hours, or the user may choose to select a specific calendar date in the View From and View To fields of the Time Range tab.

Output Tab

The Output tab allows the user to select the output format of the report. The two Output formats of creating an HTML-style report are Full Report or Summary Only report. Reports may also be created in a Text Output Format.

Click Create to manually generate the report. Scheduling a report may only be performed by a Storage Solutions Group engineer.
