Overview

The Report Manager allows you to schedule and run dynamic reports on devices in your network. Currently, the Report Manager uses Oracle BI Publisher to render reports based on metrics collected from Historical Data Recording (HDR).

HDR refers to a group of management features that allow you to configure the managed device to collect statistics about system operation and function. The Report Manager collects raw data in CSV files from designated devices. This data is aggregated into time hourly, daily, weekly and monthly segments, and made available for running reports.

When you set collection parameters for a device, you can specify the type of data for collection. A collection group is a collection of devices from which the user wants to collect the same set of HDR groups. This data is organized into report types such as hardware or other HDR collection groups.

WARNING:

To register BI Publisher with Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager, see the Register BI Publisher chapter of the Report Manager Installation Guide.
