Objects Present Reports

Objects present reports return the objects present in a table over a specified time for use in user
interface controls. For example, to allow the user to select a display of PD space usage at a
particular time, you would need to know which times, systems, and PD IDs are present in a table.
Sort order of columns is ascending, starting with the left column, then the next to the right, and so
on.

To see more examples of objects present report query strings, visit the System Reporter Excel client
query log (see

“Accessing the Excel Client Query Log” (page 61)

). In the Excel query log, note the

use of tableformat=Excel in some of the query strings. Use of this option inserts an apostrophe
(‘) before any table value that should be interpreted literally. This prevents Excel from potentially
converting a value (such as a CPG name) that begins with a number into a number string.

The objects_present report requires the category (see

“category” (page 128)

) and table

(see

“table” (page 131)

) parameters. The category parameter must be one of daily, hourly

or hires. The valid table values for the report are described in

Table 58 (page 167)

. Exactly one

value for the category and table parameters must be specified.

For example, the following query string produces the output displayed at the top in
