Rapid Recovery 6.7 - User Guide

You can schedule a report available from the Core Console. The report then generates on the schedule you defined until you pause or delete the report.

You must specify email notification and delivery, or you must specify a location to save reports. You can also choose both options.

Complete the steps in this procedure to schedule a report.

Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
From the icon bar, click (More), and then select Reports.

The Job Report page appears. A downward-facing arrow appears to the right of the current report name.
Click the arrow to the right of the report name, and from the drop-down menu, select Scheduled Reports.

On the Configuration page of the wizard, enter the details for the report you want to schedule, and then click Next. The configuration options are described in the following table.

Table 108: Scheduled report configuration options

The Custom Groups feature allows you to group Core objects in one logical container, for which you define a label. Using the Labels parameter in the Set Reporting Schedule Wizard, you can select a custom group for which scheduled reports are run. If no custom labels exist, the available options in the Labels drop-down menu include Select All and Protected Machines. If custom groups appear, each group appears as an option. You can select or clear any of the options to include or exclude those objects in the scheduled report.
Protected machine	Select one or more protected machines to be included in the report. This option is not available for the Repository report.
Job Types	Select the job types you want to appear in the report. By default, this set of information includes jobs for all machines—every protected machine, replicated machine and recovery point-only machine in the specified Cores. In the report parameters, you can customize the report. Use the filters to select or exclude some machines. You can also select or exclude jobs that are machine independent, in which case the report shows status for Core jobs only. The Job Types parameter is not available for the Core Summary and Repository scheduled report types.

On the Destination page of the wizard, select a destination for the reports you want to schedule. You must choose one of the following, and may select both. When satisfied, click Next.

Weekly	Generates and saves or sends the specified report once weekly at the specified time of the specified day. Default time for this action is 12:00 AM on Sunday (based on the time on the Core server).	To change the default day that the report generates, from the day of week menu, select a day of the week. To change the default time that the report generates, in the time text text box, type a new value or use the controls to change the hour, minutes, and AM or PM.

If you want this report to generate as scheduled, clear this option.
When satisfied with the schedule, click Finish to exit the wizard and save your work.

The new report schedule appears in the Summary Reports summary table.

Modifying a report schedule

Pausing, resuming, or deleting a scheduled report

Once a report is scheduled, it generates on the schedule defined. If you want to temporarily stop the generation of a scheduled report, then you can pause the schedule.

If a scheduled report is paused, and you wish to resume the generation of the report, then you can resume the report as described in this procedure.

If you are currently generating a scheduled report, and no longer need to generate that report, you can delete it.

To determine if any scheduled report is paused, check the status column in the scheduled reports summary table. A green sphere indicates an active scheduled report; a yellow sphere indicates a paused schedule; and a red sphere indicates an error.

Complete the steps in this procedure to pause, resume, or delete a schedule for a report.

Navigate to the Rapid Recovery Core Console.
From the icon bar, click (More), and then select Reports.
The Job Report page appears. A downward facing arrow appears to the right of the current report name.
Click the arrow to the right of the report name, and from the drop-down menu, select Scheduled Reports.
The Scheduled Reports page appears.
In the Scheduled Reports summary table, view the status of all scheduled reports, using the colored indicators.
For each report you want to pause or resume, select the check box in the first column.
From the Scheduled Reports options above the summary table, do one of the following:
- To pause the generation of the selected reports, click Pause.
- To resume generation of scheduled reports that have been paused, click Resume.
- To delete the selected schedules for existing scheduled reports, click Delete.
  Deleting a scheduled report only prevents the generation of future reports. If previous scheduled reports have been saved, they are not removed.

Using the Reports menu

The Reports menu appears at the top of the page when viewing Reports. This menu includes a report title, which is also a drop-down menu that lets you see which report types are available. Below this menu are one or more filters that help you to define your report criteria.

The specific filters available depend on the report type. For information on the parameters that apply to each report type, see the topic for understanding that report type.

On the right side of the reports menu, some controls appear. These controls, described in the following table, help you generate and export the report.

Table 111: Reports menu controls
	UI Element	Description
	Preview button	Click the preview button to generate a report based on the selected report type and the report parameters specified in the filters.
	Export format drop-down menu	The Export format drop-down menu lets you select a report output format. If you do not select a value, the default format (pdf) is used.
	Download button	The Download button exports the generated report in the format type selected in the Export format menu

Reports include units of measure which make it easier to determine if a column is represented in GB, TB, or in seconds.

If you are not satisfied with the appearance of a generated or exported report, you can change the font used in the reports. For more information, see Managing report settings.

Once a report is generated, you can use the reports toolbar, as described in the topic Using the Reports toolbar.
