MessageStats 7.8 - Report Pack for Exchange Online User Guide

Configuring Report Subscriptions

Configuring Report Subscriptions

The MessageStats Report Pack for Exchange Online Reports subscription service generates specific reports on a regular schedule. You can define subscriptions that embed a link to a report location in an email message, that embed the report in an email, or that send a message with an attachment that contains the report. You can also publish the reports to a file share, to an FTP site, or to a web site.

You can use the Subscription Wizard to set up and schedule the report subscription service.

Prerequisites for Publishing Reports to a Web Site

Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) must be enabled on the IIS server if you are publishing a subscription to a web site. Also, both read and write permissions must be set on the virtual directory for the subscription.

For a Windows 2003 server with IIS 6 installed, you may also have to install WebDAV since it is not installed by default. To install WebDAV on an IIS 6 server, select Add or Remove Programs in the Control Panel and run the Windows Components Wizard. You can find WebDAV under Application Server | Internet Information Services | World Wide Web Service | WebDAV Publishing.

Once WebDAV is installed, ensure that it is enabled. Check the WebDAV option under the Web Services Extensions node in IIS Manager.

Next, verify that the correct permissions are set on the target virtual directory. Select the Virtual Directory tab on the Properties sheet for the virtual directory. Ensure the following options are selected:

•

Read

•

Write

•	Log visits

Finally, configure the NTFS permissions for the content folder on your web server to ensure that the user account that is used to create the subscription has adequate permissions. Open Windows Explorer, open the Properties sheet for your content directory, and select the Security tab.

In addition to write permissions, the user account must also have the following permissions:

•	Create Files/ Write Data

•	Create Folders/ Append Data

Creating and Changing Report Subscriptions

Creating and Changing Report Subscriptions

IMPORTANT: If the password for an account that was used to create a subscription is changed, the subscription will stop working. There are no error messages but the subscription will not be sent. You must select and modify the subscription and update the password for the subscription to begin to work again.
