Reports/Templates

Control-M Reporting facility provides different reports that you can generate to view specific information in your Control-M environment. You can also define your own templates according to specific criteria.

There are the following report types:

Report type	Description
General reports	Collects general data, for example Alerts
Definition Reports	Collects data from the planning domain
Active reports	Collects data from the Active Jobs database
Batch Impact Manager reports	Collects data for site operating BMC Batch Impact Manager
Forecast reports	Collects data for sites operating Control-M/Forecast
Audit reports	Collects custom and Workload Change Manager request auditing data.

For example, if you want to view information on folders starting with the letter O, you can generate a Folder Definitions report and define your criteria.

You can define templates and reports using the report wizard. The Control‑M Reporting Facility provides a fixed, predefined set of report types (for example, Alerts and Audit reports), and each template or report that you define must be of one of these predefined types. When you define templates and reports, consider the following:

If you want to run the report once, create the report definition without defining a template, as described in Creating reports/templates.
If you want to generate the report multiple times, you can define a report template, as described in Creating reports/templates.
Several sample report templates are provided with the Control‑M Reporting Facility during installation. When you generate sample outputs with these templates, you might be prompted to supply input parameter values.
