Accessing Reports From the Sun Management Center Web Server

You can view a report as HTML in a browser. The report must first be saved and then posted to a Sun Management Center 3.5 web server. All scheduled reports are posted to the Sun Management Center 3.5 server machine. You can also post an individual report by using the Post to a Web Server option from the report's menu. A list of all reports ever posted appears in the browser window that is opened from the server. All reports continues to appear until the report is deleted.
