About Reporting

Orchestrators collect data about process executions. The collected data is stored in a library that is dedicated to reporting and includes information about:

Process definitions
Process instances (specific runs)
Tasks that are involved within a process instance
Location of execution in terms of Environments/Touchpoints

The reporting database is configured at the Domain level and can use any supported underlying RDBMS (such as MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server).

Reports/dashboards can be defined using plain SQL queries or any third-party reporting tool, such as the SAP Crystal Reports and IBM Cognos.

CA Process Automation comes with an embedded version of Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT), an Open Source reporting system within the Eclipse Foundation. CA Process Automation provides several predefined reports using BIRT and allows users to upload their own report definitions to any Domain Orchestrator, with the option of making them available to other users.

The Reports tab the CA Process Automation web interface displays all the available reports information along with a switch icon to share or unshare the report with the other users. From the All Reports pane, you can perform the following actions on reports:

View standard reports, or can download them to print or email
Create reports, upload them to CA Process Automation
Share or unshare the reports
Rename or delete the reports that you create

The All Reports is the default mode in the report pane. To view reports that you created, click My Reports from the drop-down list at the top right corner in the All Reports pane. Select the drop-down arrow to apply filters on reports to view the required fields.

The search functionality lets you search for a specific report using the Search tab. The paging toolbar at the bottom of the reports panel, lets you limit the number of reports per page.
