Enterprise Reporter 3.5 - Report Manager User Guide

Quest Enterprise Reporter Report Manager Introducing the Report Manager Running and Scheduling Reports Creating and Editing Reports Troubleshooting Issues with Enterprise Reporter Appendix: PowerShell cmdlets

Connecting to the server

Before you can use the report cmdlets, you must establish a connection to the Enterprise Reporter server. If you do not have your profile set up (see Loading the Enterprise Reporter cmdlets), you will need to establish a connection.

In this example, a connection is established to the AMERGEN01 server through port 7738.

Getting report information

Report Manager has a report library that is broken into a logical folder structure with reports in each folder. The functional cmdlets require the ID and path associated with each report and not just the report name. To get the report ID and path, use the Get-ERReport cmdlet. You can use wildcard expressions with this cmdlet. The wildcard search is performed on the full report path including folder names and report name.

This example returns all information on the Domain Accounts report.

Output

This example returns all the reports that begin with Domain.

Exporting a report definition

Reports in Report Manager can be modified and configured. The modified report can be exported to a designated location for disaster recovery or to share with others. The complete report information obtained from the Get-ERReport cmdlet is required when performing the export. For more information, see Getting report information.

In this example, the Get-ERReport cmdlet places the report information for a report in the Report Library into the $rpt variable. Next, the report definition is exported to the c:\ drive. The exported definition contains the report name and the report Id: Domain Users_95ccdb73-b815-47d2-af98-bc359201b6cd.xrd.

In this example, the Get-ERReport cmdlet places the report information for a report located in My Reports into the $rpt variable. Next, the report definition is exported to the c:\ drive. The exported definition contains the report name and the report Id: Domain Computer Information_e4067d44-b100-46e9-94da-8c3348584b50.xrd.

Importing a report definition to a category

Reports in Report Manager can be modified and exported. The exported reports can later be imported into a new or existing category within the Enterprise Reporter report library.

Import-ERReport [-ReportPath] <String> [[-TargetCategory] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]

In this example, the report is imported to the default category My Reports.

Import-ERReport -ReportPath c:\Report.xrp

In this example, the report is imported to a category named My Reports\Imported.

Export-ERReportDefinition c:\Report.xrd -TargetCategory "My Reports\Imported"
