7.19 Scheduling Reports
System Reporter 2.8 3PAR System Reporter User’s Guide
Each time the report runs, a new subdirectory is created for that instance of the report with
the timestamp as the name. All of the PNG image files, the .CSV file and the .html file will be
placed in that subdirectory.
You have the choice of making the scheduled reports accessible through the System Reporter
Main Menu Window or you can copy the directory structure to some other location with
whatever permissions are appropriate for the users who access the reports. The benefit of a
having a report directory structure is that you can limit the users who have access depending
on the permissions that are assigned (for example by creating .htaccess files). One example
where this may be useful is when multiple departments share an array. You can schedule
various reports specific to each department, place them in different report directories, and
then allow each department access only to their respective report directory. By default, the
scheduled report process can run 10 reports at a time. This can be re-configured if required.
7.5.1 Adding a Scheduled Report
To add a scheduled report:
1 Point your browser at the Web server where Apache HTTP Server and the 3PAR System
Reporter Web server scripts are installed.
The 3PAR System Reporter main window appears.
2 Click on Policy Settings in the Extras Menu area.
The System Reporter Policies window appears.
3 Choose the Scheduled Reports tab.
The Scheduled Reports window appears.
4 Click Add Scheduled Report.
5 Specify the report directory.
This is the name of the directory under the top-level directory for scheduled reports
(htdocs/3par/scheduledreports/). You can specify multiple reports within a report directory
and each of these reports will have its own sub-directory.
NOTE: When making scheduled reports available, the entire report directory
should be published along with all the associated sub directories.
