Adding an E-mail Schedule for a Report
You can add an e-mail schedule so that a user receives an attached report on a regular basis.
Keep in mind the following:
•
Before you can add an e-mail schedule, you must set up e-mail notification, as described in
Setting Up E-mail Notification
•
Schedule your reports to be e-mailed soon after a report cache refresh, which occurs every six
hours by default. Since the reports display the data that is in the cache, e-mails sent too long
after a refresh will show old data. For example, if you add an e-mail schedule to send a report
daily at 7 a.m., and schedule your report cache to refresh daily at 8 a.m., your reports will most
likely show outdated data. It would make more sense to schedule your report cache refresh at 7
a.m. and then schedule to send your reports soon afterwards. See ”
•
The management server service must be running for users to receive e-mail notification.
•
Only the e-mail schedules created by the current user are listed. To view the e-mail schedules for
all reports, select Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration in HP Systems Insight
Manager, and then click the Scheduled Deliveries tab at the top of the screen.
•
The elements in the report you send are based on the organizations selected from the
Organization Filters tab. For example, assume you belong to two organizations: OnlyHosts and
OnlySwitches. If you only select OnlySwitches in the Organization Filters tab (accessible by
clicking Add E-mail Schedule), the user only receives information about the elements in the
OnlySwitches organization. This remains true even if you change your organization filtering at
the top of the page ( ).
