The Reports feature in Job Manager provides the ability to use the Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services platform for generating advanced Reports on information contained in the Job Manager database. Before you can work with Reports, you must have Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services with Service Pack 2 installed and working in your environment. This is a free component for Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and 2005 users.
Additionally, reports need to be authored in a tool suitable for authoring MS SQL Server 2000 or 2005 Reporting Services Reports. These reports are contained in RDL (Report Definition Language) files. Once authored, the RDL files are then uploaded to the Job Manager database. When the Report is run by a Job Manager user, Job Manager will connect to the Report Server, which will then run the Report against the Job Manager database. Results are returned to the user in the default format.
Note: To use the reporting capability, you need Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Std. Edition or greater, or SQL Server 2005 Workgroups edition or greater.
Reporting is implemented by the Job Manager Administrator. This implementation consists of the following:
Setting Up Reporting Services Access to define the connection between Job Manager and the Reporting Services Server.
Adding and Configuring Reports in Job Manager.
Note: This feature is available when logged in to either the Job Manager desktop client for Windows or the Virtual Ticket desktop client for Mac OS X as the Administrator.
