The Encryption Key Manager

Enterprise Reporter makes use of FIPS 140-2 compliant encryption to secure user credentials and includes an encryption key management tool. The Enterprise Reporter Encryption Key Manager can be started from the Windows Start menu. This tool allows you to perform the following tasks related to the Enterprise Reporter encryption key.

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)

You can configure Enterprise Reporter for publishing reports to SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Reports can then be published allowing users to generate reports using a web browser instead of the Report Manager.

For more information, see the Quest Enterprise Reporter Report Manager User Guide in the Technical Documentation.

Summarizing the Workflow

The Enterprise Reporter workflow has three distinct phases:

Configuration

Configuration Manager

Set up clusters and nodes

Set up initially

Modifications as your environment changes

Data collection

Configuration Manager

Create discoveries

Once for every set of targets

Execute discoveries

As often as you need to maintain the desired data freshness

Reporting

Report Manager

Generate reports based on collected data

As needed

These phases are not linear. You may run useful reports for a period of time, and then decide that you need to add another node, create a new discovery, or add another managed computer. You can move around between them as needed.
