A Tour for Report Administrators › About This Tour

About This Tour

This tour describes a typical sequence of report administration tasks. As you go through the tour, perform these tasks yourself using your active ReportCenter control region that you have implemented in Implementing the ReportCenter Java Task.

The tour takes you through complete end-to-end ReportCenter operation, from collecting the raw data to viewing the final resulting report.

The following tasks are described:

• Collecting stack workload or file transfer report data
• Checking the data feed
• Running an on demand Stack Overview or File Transfer Overview report
• Viewing the report output
• Examining the activity of the Report Generator

This tour uses the ReportCenter control region to collect the data. When you are familiar with these tasks, you can implement data regions on every system (LPAR) where you want to collect data.
