outdated data. It would make more sense to schedule your report cache refresh at 7 a.m. and then schedule to send your reports soon afterwards. See ”Scheduling a Report Cache Refresh” on page 186.

•The management server service must be running for users to receive e-mail notification.

•Only the e-mail schedules created by the current user are listed. To view the e-mail schedules for all reports, click Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration in HP Systems Insight Manager. Then, click the Scheduled Deliveries tab at the top of the screen.

•The elements in the report you send are based the organizations selected from the Organization Filters tab. For example assume you belong to two organizations: OnlyHosts and OnlySwitches. If you select OnlySwitches and not OnlyHosts in the Organization Filters tab (accessible by clicking Add E-mail Schedule), the user only receives information about the elements in the OnlySwitches organization. This is still true even if you change your organization filtering at the top of the page ().

To add an e-mail schedule:

1.Access Reporting as described in ”Accessing Reporting” on page 431.

2.Expand the tree in the middle pane, and click the report you want to send at a scheduled time.

3.When the report is displayed in the right pane, click the Scheduled Deliveries tab in the right pane.

4.Click the Add E-mail Schedule button.

5.Verify the Properties tab is displayed.

6.In the top field, type the recipient's e-mail address.

The software verifies the address entered has a correct form. To send multiple addresses, separate each address with a comma (,), for example:

john.example@appiq.com,jerry.example@appiq.com

7.In the Subject field, type a subject for the e-mail messages you plan to send.

NOTE: Provide the name of the report in the subject field so users can distinguish the message from others.

8.In the Message field, type a message describing the report.

If you are e-mailing reports in bulk, you might want to let users know the e-mail is being sent by an automated process. You might also want to provide an e-mail address for users to provide feedback, for example:

This e-mail and its attached report are generated automatically. If you would like to change how often the report is sent to you or you want to be taken off the list, please contact username@companyname.com.

9.From the Format drop-down menu, select one of the following formats:

•PDF - Requires the use of Adobe Acrobat, which can be downloaded for free from http://www.adobe.com.

•Excel - Requires the use of Microsoft Excel.

•XML - Requires the user has an understanding of XML.
