View the Report

Depending on your environment configuration, a report will be available to view when an administrator approves the request for that report. If your report request is pending approval, the system sends you an email alert. The report that you want to view does not appear in the search list until it is approved.

Note: In order to view reports in CA Identity Manager using the View My Reports task, enable third-party session cookies in your browser.

Follow these steps:

1. In the User Console, go to Tasks, Reports, Reporting Tasks, and click View My Reports.
2. Search for the generated report that you want to view.

   Both recurrence generated reports and on-demand report instances are displayed.

   Note: If the status of the report is Pending/Recurring, the report is not generated and may take time to complete.

3. Select the report that you want to view.
4. (Optional) Click Export this report (top left corner) to export the report to the following formats:
   • Crystal Report
   • PDF
   • Microsoft Excel (97-2003)
   • Microsoft Excel (97-2003) Data-Only
   • Microsoft Excel (97-2003) - Editable

How to Run a Non-Snapshot Report

A non-snapshot report includes data from other data sources, such as the Audit, Workflow, or Task Persistence databases. CA Identity Manager includes default audit reports with prefix "Audit-" to their name, in the user console. By default, CA Identity Manager includes only Audit reports, but you can create your own custom reports that can include data from any data source.

This scenario describes how a Super Administrator configures a report database connection and run a non-snapshot report.

The following diagram illustrates the process running a snapshot report:

To run the non-snapshot report, perform the following steps:

1. Configure the report server connection.
2. Create a connection for the report.
3. Associate a connection with the report task.
4. Request a Report.
5. View the Report.
