HP Smart Update Manager (User Guide) - Manual (Page 30)

Generating and viewing reports
You can generate a report file in HTML, XML, or CSV format that details the repository contents,
target firmware, target installable details, failed dependencies, and installed items details. You
can view HTML and XML files in a web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. The reports
support JavaScript-enabled web browsers Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and later.
The XML reports also allow you to write programs to pull the report information and display it in
other locations. You can view CSV reports in any application that supports the CSV format.
NOTE: Not all reports are available on all screens. If a report is not available, HP SUM grays
out the report.
