Report Center

The Report Center is one of the system management tools provided through the Access Suite Console. The Access Suite Console snaps into the Microsoft Management Console to provide a central location for system management tools. You can also use it to launch other consoles such as the MetaFrame Presentation Server Console.

The Report Center extends Resource Manager reporting capabilities, and allows you to easily generate reports from a variety of real-time and historical data sources. A wizard helps you select the type of report, the data to be displayed, and the schedule for running the report. You can view the status of your scheduled report, and, for those that have not been run, you can adjust the report parameters.

Report Types

The Report Center contains several report types, for example:

•Application Availability report. Lists the published applications in a farm and the percentage of time when they were available, in a planned down state, and in an unplanned down state.

•Server Availability report. Lists the servers in a farm and the percentage of time when they were available, in a planned down state, and in an unplanned down state.

•Server Performance report. Displays, for the selected servers, the average CPU utilization, the minimum memory available, and the maximum number of concurrent connections. The report also contains details of the most heavily loaded servers.

•Application report. Provides details of all published applications including the servers they are published on, users and groups with access to them, and any options used by clients that connect to the applications.

•Application Usage report. Shows the most frequently used applications, the number of times each application has been accessed, and the maximum number of concurrent users.
