The following table describes the fields that might appear on the Selection page (depending on the report you want to generate):

Field Name

Description

Report Filter Specifications. Use the options in this section to fine-tune the generation of a batch report.

Return maximum of __ rows per computer
(Usage reports only)

Use this field to control how many rows are generated in the report. This will allow you to control the size of the report that is generated.

In the example of Most Obsolete File reporting, you can enter 10 in the Return maximum of __ rows per <object> field and to limit the number of rows in the report to only 10 obsolete files per computer. If you have set up scans to collect many more row than that per computer, this is an effective and efficient way to control the size of the generated report.

Limit to this time range:

(Availability reports only)

Use the fields in this section to determine the date range from which to gather availability information for the objects you select.

Relate Computers to:
(Storage Subsystem reports only)

Use this field to generate a report that shows the relationships between the computer and storage subsystems, LUNs, or Disks.

Storage Subsystem. Choose this option to view the Storage Subsystems that the logical volumes within a computer are using.

LUNs. Choose this option to show the LUNs within a storage subsystem that the logical volumes within a computer are using.

Disks. Choose this option to show the disks within a disk array that the logical volumes within a computer are using.

Relate Filesystems/Logical Volumes to:
(Storage Subsystem reports only)

Use this field to generate a report that shows the relationships between the filesystems/logical volumes and storage subsystems, LUNs, or Disks.

Storage Subsystem. Choose this option to view the storage subsystems on which a filesystem/logical volume is allocated.

LUNs. Choose this option to view the LUNs on which the filesystem/logical volume is allocated.

Disks. Choose this option to show the disks on which a filesystem/logical volume is allocated.

Relate Storage Subsystems to:
(Storage Subsystem reports only)

Use this field to generate a report that shows the relationships between a storage subsystem and the computers and logical volumes using that storage subsystem.

Computer. Choose this option to view the computers that are using a disk.

Filesystem/Logical Volume. Choose this option to view the filesystems/logical volumes that are using a disk.

Selection....

Click the Selection... button to determine the objects upon which you want to report. The Select Resources window will be displayed. If you un-check a resource on the Select Resource window, a red triangle icon will be displayed on the Selection... button.

If you are generating a Network-wide report, the Selection... button will be disabled because you have chosen to generate the report network wide, for all objects.

Filter...

Click the Filter... button to further select or restrict objects on which you want to report. Filters enable you to apply general rules to the report. When you click this button the Edit Filter window will be displayed. For more information on this window, see Filtering the Resources that Appear in a Report.

For example, select all computers with the name beginning with w2s-*, or select all filesystems with percent used space >= to a specific value.

If a filter is defined for this report, a red triangle icon is displayed on the Filter... button.

Available Columns/Included Columns

Available Columns. This list box displays the columns that you can include in the generated report that are not already included. If a column appears in the Included Columns list box it will not appear in this list box.

Included Columns. This list box displays the columns that will appear in the generated report. By default, all the columns for a report are listed in this list box and will be displayed in the generated report. You can highlight the columns and use the up and down arrows to re-arrange columns in the report. The order of the items on this list determines the order in which the columns will appear in the generated report. The grayed-out names shown at the top of the list box are frozen columns of the report. They cannot be selected, removed, or re-ordered.

If a column appears in the Available Columns list box it will not appear in this list box.

To include a column in a report:

Click the name of the column in the Available Columns list box. Use shift+click and crtl+click to select multiple columns.

Click [Right arrow button] . The columns will now appear in the Included Columns list box.

To remove a column in a report:

Click the name of the column in the Included Columns list box. Use shift+click and crtl+click to select multiple columns.

Click [Left arrow button] . The columns will now appear in the Available Columns list box.

Up and down arrows

Use these buttons to rearrange the order of columns that will appear in a report. To change the order of a column, highlight the column name and click the up or down arrow.
