The Reporting Facility is a Control-M client GUI application that enables you to define templates that you can use to generate reports that provide important information about your Control‑M job flow. Control-M Reporting Facility uses the Crystal Reports application to produce reports. Report files and report template files are saved locally as .rpt report files; files template and .rpt files.
Control-M Reporting Facility enables you to do the following:
Configure options: Enables you to set options for the Control-M Reporting Facility by customizing the environment, viewer, formats and confirmation defaults according to your needs. For more information, see Configuring Control-M Reporting Facility Options.
Verify database: Enables you to view your connection details and verify the database. For more information, see Verifying the database .
Create reports/templates: Enables you to define templates and reports that you can use to generate reports. For more information, see Reports/Templates.
Add report templates: Enables you to create reports based on specific report templates. For more information, see Adding report template.
Run reports: Enables you to generate reports. For more information, see Running a report.
Edit report templates: Enables you to make changes and update reports. For more information, see Editing a report template.
Delete report templates: Enables you to delete report templates. For more information, seeDeleting a report template .
Copy report templates: Enables you to duplicate report templates. For more information, see Copying a report template .
You can include variables in report templates, and then supply the values for the variables when the report is generated. The report then varies depending on the values you supply. (If you are working online you supply the dynamic values using pop-up dialogs, or if you are generating the reports in batch in an Command Line Attributes/Arguments File. For more information, see emreportcli in Control-M Utilities).
