Web Reports let you view all of your historical performance data through an Internet browser, in a way that is meaningful to you.
You can view Web Reports from one of three sources:
You will encounter three report types in Unicenter MP:
Configured Reports are out-of-the-box report templates that have not yet been executed. You can immediately use these to access meaningful information from supported products and view that information in a report. You can create and save these reports using the provided templates, or use the reports provided by the product. Configured Reports are listed in the tree according to product-specific classification.
Report Templates provide a way to customize reports using option fields to fill in the criteria that you want to use to generate your report. They provide all of the possibilities of what you can define. Once you fill in a template, you can either publish the information into the tree as a published report, or simply add it to the list of configured reports in the tree.
For example, if you are concerned about x factor within a supported product, you can execute the x factor Configured Report, which provides summarized information on x factor activity for that product. But if you want to view more specific information on y within the x factor, you can fill in the y within the x factor template provided by that product to define your own configured report, or publish the report into the product tree so you can retrieve it. Web Reports provide several Report Templates and Configured Reports across supported products that let you see your data the way you want to see it.
Report templates are listed in the tree according to product-specific classification.
Published Reports are the static contents of the results of executing reports in Unicenter MP. After you publish a report, you must reload the Knowledge Tree for the report link to become available. You may choose to delete items that are published in the tree after you have viewed them.
The key to Web Reporting is establishing a connection to the Web Reporting Servers using the WRS Catalog page in Unicenter MP. Establishing connections makes it possible for users to view reports running on these servers. The WRS Catalog lists all defined Web Reporting Services (WRS) connections and allows you to add, delete, or manage them.
