DSM Reporter

The DSM Reporter is a query tool used to extract information from the database.

Reports can be generated on an ad-hoc or scheduled basis. The DSM Reporter enhances the value of Client Automation data by organizing, filtering, and presenting it. The DSM Reporter also gives the option of exporting data into CSV (*.csv) or HTML files (*.html). You can import these files later on into spreadsheets, budgeting tools, and so on.

The look-and-feel of the DSM Reporter is similar to that of the DSM Explorer. Drag-and-drop options for printing Client Automation units and groups, and for creating new reports based on queries, add to the perception of the DSM Reporter as an extension to the DSM Explorer.

Note: When you launch the DSM Reporter for the first time after installation, make sure that you give enough time to import all the report templates into the database. However, if anything goes wrong while importing the report templates, as a workaround, open the registry editor and delete the subkey in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\Unicenter ITRM\Reporter\Library. After deleting the subkey, launch the DSM Reporter again.
