Running Reports

490

If Report Designer is running on the same computer as the management server, you can use

localhost for the DNS name, as shown in the following example:

jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:APPIQ

e. Type the following in the User Name field: Report_User

This is the user name that is used to access the schema view in the management server

database. This user has read privileges only for the schema views.

f. Type the following in the Password field: appiq

9.

Click OK.
Report Designer searches for JDBC driver.
You may have entered incorrect path information if Report Designer cannot find the JDBC

drivers.

10.

Select APPIQ_SYSTEM under the schemas section.
The Tables pane becomes populated. These are all the tables you can use to create the reports.

It is best to select as many tables as possible rather than too few. If you are not too sure as to

which tables you may be using, you may want to select them all.

11.

Select the tables and then click Add. Click the Done button when you have finished adding

tables.
The tables populate the Catalog Browser window.

12.

Click File > Save Catalog to save the catalog.

Designing Custom Reports

IMPORTANT:

This section assumes you have already installed and configured Report Designer

and integrated it with the management server.

These steps assume you are running Report Designer 6.0, and you have the online help for Report

Designer installed. The instructions provide general information about using Report Designer. For

additional information, refer to the online help for Report Designer. The management server only

supports Report Designer running on Microsoft Windows.

NOTE:

You cannot create custom reports for NetApp filers.

Creating Standard Reports

The following steps are for Microsoft Windows and for Report Designer 6.0:

1.

Open Report Designer.

2.

If the Choose Report screen does not appear, select File > New in Report Designer.
