Using cmdlets to run reports

Now that you have collected data for your environment, you will want to produce reports with the data. Normally this is done using the Report Manager, but there are a number of cmdlets available to provide reports. The examples in this section demonstrate how to run reports using cmdlets.

This section contains the following examples:

•
Connecting to the server
•
Getting report information
•
Exporting a report definition
•
Importing a report definition to a category
•
Generating a report with data

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.

Syntax
Connect-ERReportingServer [-Server] <String> [[-Port] <Int32>]
Example

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

Connect-ERReportingServer -Server AMERGEN01 -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.

Syntax
Get-ERReport [[-ReportName] <String>]
Example 1

This example returns all information on the Domain Accounts report.

Get-ERReport "*\Active Directory\Domain Accounts*"

Output

Id CategoryPath ReportName
-- ------------ ----------
58355095-75ee-4d21-9c11-1ccc15cbe3e3 Report Library\Active Directory Domain Accounts
Example 2

This example returns all the reports that begin with Domain.

Get-ERReport "*\Active Directory\Domain*"
Output
Id CategoryPath ReportName
-- ------------ ----------

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.

Syntax
Export-ERReportDefinition [-Report] <Report> [-Destination] <String>
Example 1

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.

$rpt = Get-ERReport "Report Library\Active Directory\Domain Users"
Export-ERReportDefinition $rpt -Destination c:\
Example 2

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.

$rpt = Get-ERReport "My Reports\Domain Computer Information"
Export-ERReportDefinition $rpt -Destination c:\
