How to Administer the Storage Management Interface

The system administrator created at least one public host for the storage engine subsystem and initialized the Storage Management interface data base during the initial configuration process. If your site has multiple storage engine subsystems, the system administrator can create one public host for each additional storage engine subsystem. Individuals can also log in to the public host and add their own private host definitions.

The system administrator can do the following Storage Management interface administration tasks for the Storage Management interface after the configuration phase:

• Manage Public hosts
• Manage Email Server and Number of Concurrent Reports Settings
• Stop and Start the Scheduler
• Manage Scheduled Items
• Manage Public Logo Images
• Manage Public Holiday Schedules
• Create and Manage Public User Views of Source Objects
• Advise users of the web application server schedule time.

  The schedule time is stated in the Scheduler. Users set the schedule time in the Add Timer Schedule dialog that is displayed by the Scheduler Status Window and the Schedule Page of the Customize Report Wizard. This time is dependent on the time that is set for the web application server (the time that is specified in the USS .profile file by the system administrator). This time is not necessarily the time on user PCs if users are located in different time zones. Users must consider the time difference when specifying the time in their schedules.

  Inform users that are located in different time zones, the time setting of the web application server. Then they can correctly calculate the schedule time for their reports.

• Advise users of the directory paths for output reports to file, FTP, and web servers.

  When users create output reports or schedule output reports they can specify to output the reports to file, FTP, and web servers. Inform users the directory path from the interface application on the JBoss server to the file, FTP, and web servers to which they want the reports published. If needed, consult your network and security administrator to obtain the information and verify that appropriate write-authority to the server directories is provided.
