Generating Reports

You can generate reports in any of the following ways:

• Generating Reports from Report Manager, page 10-23

• Generating Reports from the Reports Menu, page 10-37

• Generating Reports from Prime Network Vision, page 10-38

You can generate reports only for devices that are within your scope.

Note Report Manager generates reports up to 150 MB in size. If you ge nerate a report that exceeds this limit:

• Report Manager window displays Failed in the State column.

• An error message is entered in the log stating that the report failed because the resulting output is

too large.

To run the report successfully, enter more specific report criteria or limit the time period covered by the

report.

If you generate reports while Prime Network Vision is working under a database load, the reports move

to a Load mode which is indicated by a system event. While Prime Network Vision is in Load mode, the

reports currently running are cancelled and new reports are queued.

After Prime Network Vision returns to normal operation and is no longer operating under a load, a new

system event is generated and the queued reports start running.

If a report fails to generate successfully, the State column co ntains the w ord Failed. Click Failed to view

the reason for the failure. A window is displayed with the cause of the failure, such as The disk space

allocated for report storage is full or AVM 84 was restarted while the report was running.
