Reports
HP SUM generates three types of reports about the specified system or repository. HP SUM generates
these reports by using the command-line arguments. If no additional arguments are specified on
the command line, HP SUM uses the local host and default repository locations (the directory where
HP SUM was initiated). You can specify a target if you provide the appropriate credentials. You
can specific a repository by using other command-line parameters to generate reports. For specific
commands, see
“Command-line interface” (page 31) .

HP SUM generates the reports as XML or HTML files that you can view in a JavaScript-enabled
web browser. The supported browsers for viewing the report files are Microsoft Internet Explorer
6.0 and Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and later. By default, the reports are located in the current working
directory from where HP SUM was initiated. If that current location is write-protected, the reports
are located in the same directory as the HP SUM log files.
HP SUM generates reports in CSV format that you can open in any application that supports CSV
format.
The HP SUM log files are located in these folders:
•
On Windows operating systems: C:\cpqsystem\hp\log
•
On Linux: /var/hp/log
When HP SUM generates the report, the HP SUM GUI does not appear. When the report is
generated, HP SUM displays the report file location.
