320-200222 Rev A

First version of this guide for System Reporter 2.7, replaces previous

April 2010

version 320-1330-10.

Improvements and additions for release 2.7 include:

Added an optionally licensed Adaptive Provisioning component that analyzes and optimizes storage utilization.

Added the ability to configure scheduled reports with predefined parameters, execution times, destination directories and retention periods. System Reporter will generate the reports and save them in the specified directories where they can be viewed as static html files with images.

The main screen has been improved, providing 3 tabs: one for Quick Reports, one for Scheduled Reports and one for Custom Reports.

The policy setting screen has been improved with a tabbed view instead of a single screen for all policies. Separate tabs are used for sampling policies, InServ systems to sample, alert rules, scheduled reports and adaptive optimization configuration.

Quick reports have been improved so that there is a tree view for a hierarchical organization of some commonly used predefined reports.

Many additional quick reports have been added.

Added node cache performance report.

Added compare option to PD, LD, VV space vs time reports.

Added statcmp table to store node level cache performance.

Since some databases have issues when deleting a large number of rows in one shot, code has been added to reduce the time gap (and hence the number of samples) that get deleted in one iteration.
