Report Edit page
The Report Edit page is divided into three sections. While the content of each section varies by report type, certain fields appear on all Report Edit pages:
- The top section:
- Name — The name you assign to your report instance.
- Description — A brief description of the report instance.
- Output Formats — The format in which you want the report output to appear. See the "Viewing report output" section for output format examples.
- Report Format — The format (Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly) into which the report's data is arranged.
- The middle section:
- Report on daily information — Indicates that each day covered by the report period will have its own column in the output.
- Report Period — Whether the report instance will cover a previous number of hours, days, weeks, or months or a specific period of days, weeks, or months. The format you select for the report determines the maximum number of periods that the report can include, as shown in the following table:
This report format . . . Shows a maximum of . . . Hourly 24 hours Daily 31 days (7 days if you also select the Report on option) Weekly 52 weeks Monthly 48 months- Time Period within the day to include in the report — Whether the report instance should cover a full day (24 hours) or a partial day.
- Display Units — The units in which the data is presented. Options are per second, per minute, per hour, per transaction, per record, or as raw data.
- The bottom section:
If the report's output will appear in HTML, you may want to set the GRAPH1COLUMNS or the fathomResourcesPerGraph variables. See the "Graphical output environment variables" section for more information on these two variables.- Environment — Any environment variables. Available environment variables depend on the type of report you are creating and your environment. For a list of environment variables available for your report, run the report with the Generate debug log file option on. The debug log file lists all environment variables and, if applicable, their values. For more information about viewing environment variables in the debug log file, see the entry for Generate debug log file.
- Account Information — The user name, group, and password (if you want to run the report as a user other than the AdminServer).
- Working Directory — The OpenEdge Management working directory (if you do not want to use the default working directory).
- 4GL Client Parameters — Any additional ABL client startup parameters.
- Generate debug log file — Indicates whether OpenEdge Management will create a trace file when it executes the report instance. Select the check box if you want to create debug log files; otherwise, leave the check box cleared. Creating a debug log file allows you to examine the report's environment variables. When you are viewing the debug log file, you see that lines beginning with env show the names and values of applicable environment variables, as shown:
For a detailed explanation about environment variables, see the chapter on jobs in the Resource Monitoring Guide.
