Viewing Reports
Collectors gather information for reports. If you stop a collector, its reports are not updated. You
might want to verify a collector is running if you are having difficulty viewing a report or you
believe the report is not displaying the latest information. See ” Viewing Report Collectors for an
Element ” on page 477 for more information.
Reports in general contain no data or incomplete/incorrect data while reports are being
materialized (materialized views are being populated).
