Monitoring Report
Generation and
Output
Use the Output Queue to view output requests that are due to be run,
that are complete, or have failed. (Report output could fail if, for
example, a file cannot be written to, or a printer is off line. See
“Troubleshooting Reports” on page 116 if necessary.)
You can show output for all reports, or only for the report currently
selected in the Report Manager. There are separate queues for the
generation of raw data and the output of reports.
Raw reports can take a considerable time to generate, and so a backlog
of reports waiting to be run may build up. If necessary, you can select
output requests that have not yet been run and delete them — in order
to run an ad hoc report immediately, for example.
Setting the Lifetime
of Raw Report Data
On a per-report basis, you can specify whether to keep that particular raw
report data indefinitely, or you can use the Global Options dialog box to
change the lifetime of that raw report data or output.
If your global policy is specified in the Global Options dialog box as Keep
Forever, you cannot change the lifetime of raw data or output.
Setting Global Report
Options
From the Global Report Options dialog box or Report Schedule dialog box
you can set the following global options:
■
Global policy — All raw report data can be kept indefinitely or
deleted after a specified period of time. If you generate a lot of
reports, you should choose to delete raw report data. Deleting raw
data does not delete output HTML reports.
■
Header and footer format — You can set up the graphic file and
text that appear in the header and footer of all output reports.
Graphic images must be 100 x 100 pixels or less and should be stored
in the user icons directory in the report output directory on the Web
server.
■
HTML Configuration — Use this area to specify whether HTML
output reports are kept forever or deleted after a specific period of
time.
