Report Scheduler

Some reports may take a long time to run, or you may want to view the same report multiple times without re-running the report each time you view it. The report scheduler allows you to schedule the automatic generation of a report to occur at a later time. Once the report is generated, you can view the report multiple times without re-running the report.

You can use the following options to schedule reports. Based on the scheduling option you select, CA Identity Manager displays more options.

• Now

  Specifies that the report runs immediately.

• Once

  Specifies that the report runs only once. Select the start date, end date, start time, and end time when you want to generate the report.

Note: To access the following recurrence options for a report, select Enable Recurrence Option on the Report Server Scheduler tab.

• (Audit Report Only) Hourly

  Specifies that the report is generated at the start time and subsequently every 'n' hours; 'n' denotes the interval between successive reports. Select the start date, end date, start time, end time, and the interval between successive reports.

• (Audit Report Only) Daily

  Specifies that the report is generated at the start time and subsequently every 'n' days; 'n' denotes the interval between successive reports. Select the start date, end date, start time, end time, and the interval between successive reports.

  Specifies that the report is generated every week on the selected day from the start date. Select the start date, end date, start time, and end time when you want to generate the report.
