Create and Manage Reports
Create a Report
Reports that you create and store on a workstation:
• Are available to all users of the same workstation.
• Can be run against any Neoview platform to which the workstation can connect.
To create a report:
1. If a report folder isn't present in the Report Explorer pane, create one. See “Create a Report
Folder” (page 224) .
2. Run the SQL statement that you want to save as a report. See “Run a SQL Statement Using
Metric Miner” (page 225) .
NOTE: It is possible to create a report without running a statement, but running the
statement first enables Metric Miner to display the column information in the Description
tab.
3. Click the button to save the report configuration ( or ). The Report Configuration
dialog box appears.
4. Fill in the fields in the Report Configuration dialog box. For more information about each
field, see
“Use the Report Configuration Dialog Box” (page 231) .
5. Click [ Save ].
NOTE: Saving a report does not save the report results. It saves only the statement, the
report description, and parameter information. Metric Miner does not save the results because
it would require too much memory to do so. However, you can export the results, if necessary,
before closing the report. See
“Export Metric Miner Data” (page 228) .
6. If needed, close the report by clicking the close button ( ). For more information, see
“Close a Report” (page 233) .
