Generating Reports

You can generate a standard report in one of three ways:

• By choosing Generate from the File menu in Report Manager.

• By double-clicking the name of the report request from the left pane in Report Manager.

• By clicking the Generate icon in the menu. This is the first icon located under the menu options.

Each time you generate a standard performance report, you must provide the host name and corresponding port if this information is not predefined. The host name, if entered when you generate the report, is not saved to the report request. You can specify a different host name each time you generate a standard performance report.

For standard system configuration reports, a report is generated for all hosts identified in the Sun Management Center 3.0 server context that also have the Performance Reporting Manager software installed.

For more information about standard performance and system configuration report requests, see Standard Reports Overview.

Any report, whether it is a standard or a custom report, is generated this way. For information about scheduling reports to run at regular intervals, see Scheduling Reports.

To Generate a Standard Report

You must have the Kernel Reader Simple module loaded in order to run any standard report.

1. Start Report Manager.

2. Select the name of the desired report request from the hierarchy view.

   Verify that this report request is correct by reviewing the summary information contained in the right pane.

3. Choose Generate from the File menu.

   The standard report is generated. A second window opens that contains the report output.

4. If a dialog box appears, type the host name and corresponding port.
