Reporting

There are four main types of IBM® Control Center reports:

• Standard IBM Control Center reports are produced from the IBM Control Center console, either on demand (Tools > Reports > Define/Run) or by scheduling them to be run at a certain time and sent to designated recipients through email (Tools > Reports > Automate).
  Tip: You can also run existing reports in the web console. In the IBM Control Center web console, click Analyze > Reports. Select a report, then click the Run this report icon in the Actions column.

  The Audit Log is a standard report of changes that are made to IBM Sterling Connect:Direct® server configuration objects. You can run it as an on-demand report or display it on screen by selecting Tools > Audit Log.

• Database reports use SQL queries to extract data from the IBM Control Center databases and create the reports.
• Log files on standard reports are saved to the Cognos/logs folder. After you use these logs for general debugging and maintenance purposes, you can clear these backups regularly to keep this directory to a reasonable size.
• The SLC Debug Report is useful for troubleshooting an SLC. It includes the following information:
  • SLC definition
  • Definition of schedules that are referenced by the SLC
  • Related SLC events that are produced for the SLC
  • Definition of rules that are triggered by the SLC events
  • Definition of actions that are taken by triggered rules
  • Email system settings for the event processor
  You can run this report in the IBM Control Center console by selecting Tools > Run SLC Debug Report. The report is saved to the IBM Control Center engine log folder and the name of the file is SLCDebugReport.html.
