The Metalogix Diagnostic Manager Scheduled Reports feature lets you set up reports to run in the background at a specified date and time, either once or on a recurring basis.
To schedule a report do the following:
1.In the Management Console, select a farm whose reports you wish to see.
2.Click the farm name, above the overview area, and select Reports from the drop down pane.
3.From the left hand pane, select (...) next to the report that you would like to schedule, and select Schedule from the drop down list.
This feature is especially useful for reports that you want to run and distribute on a regular basis.
|
NOTE: Currently, you cannot schedule a custom report or a report that includes a custom date range. |
When report parameters specify a fixed time period (for example, "Today" or "Last [x] Days (or Hours)," the Metalogix Diagnostic Manager scheduler will interpret it as a relative date range (that is, relative to the date when the scheduled job is run). Whenever the job runs, the report will cover the specified time period, as of the run date.
EXAMPLE: If you initiate an Alert History Report for a date range that covers the past 7 days, then schedule it to run every week, beginning in the first week of February:
·the first time the scheduled job runs, results will include data for the week specified in the report parameters:
·the second time the scheduled job runs (the following week), results will include data for the second week of February.
|
NOTE: Currently, you cannot schedule a custom report or a report that includes a custom date range. |
To create a Metalogix Diagnostic Manager Scheduled Report job:
1.In the Management Console, select a farm whose reports you wish to see.
2.Click the farm name, above the overview area, and select Reports from the drop down pane.
3.From the left hand pane, select (...) next to the report that you would like to schedule, and select Schedule from the drop down list.
4.Complete the General Job Information section as follows:
a)Enter a Job Name and Description.
|
NOTE: Choose a brief but descriptive name that uniquely identifies the job. This will make it easier for you to identify it in the Scheduled Reports grid. |
b)If you want the job to be active, make sure the Active box is checked.
|
NOTE: Once a scheduled job has been added, it can be activated or deactivated as needed. |
c)Enter an Output File Name.
|
NOTE: It is not necessary to enter a file extension; it will be applied automatically based on the selected Output Type. |
d)Select an Output Type (Acrobat (PDF), Excel 97-2003, or CSV (comma delimited) from the drop-down
|
NOTE: If you select the CSV option, only tabularnot graphicaldata will be output. For reports that include graphical data (such as Statistics or certain Summary reports) that you want to output to CSV, tabular data will be included regardless of whether the Show Tabular Data box is checked. |
e)If you want the date and time that the job is run to be appended to the file name, click the Include Date Time stamp in the file name box. (This will enable you to retain a historical record of report results.)
