Report Server Considerations

The Report Server controls the administration of automatically delivered reports, and their appearance in PDF format, and Action Alert and report retention. You can perform the following tasks from the report server configuration area:

• Create user-defined lists:

  User Defined Lists (key values)

  Lets you create relevance groupings for use in reporting, and control the time periods to which they apply.

• Set the report mail server, admin email, and SMTP port and authentication information in the Email Settings area.
• Control the company name and logo, fonts, and other PDF reports settings in the Report Configurations area.
• Set the total Actions Alerts retained, and number of days they are retained in the Alert Retention area:

  Maximum Action Alerts

  Defines the maximum number of action alerts the reporting server retains for review.

  Minimum: 50

  Maximum: 1000

  Action Alerts Retention

  Defines the number of days action alerts are retained, up to the maximum number.

  Minimum: 1

  Maximum: 30

• Set the retention policy for each scheduled report recurrence type in the Report Retention area.
• Set whether or how often the retention utility searches for reports to delete automatically based on those policies. For example, if the report retention utility runs daily, it deletes reports daily that are older than the specified maximum age.
• Set CA IT PAM Process settings
• Set SNMP Trap settings
