6.2 Reporting

Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1 is integrated with the Eclipse Foundation's Business Intelligence Reporting Tool (BIRT). BIRT is an open source reporting system that will integrates with Java/J2EE applications, such as Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1, to produce custom reports. BIRT utilizes XML report definitions to generate reports in PDF or HTML Output. BIRT uses the data from Maximo Asset Management Essentials 7.1 and manages and displays it to end users in a way that they can immediately take action if necessary. That action may involve drilling down into reports for a specific problem issue, or an analysis of the data for cost for regulatory purposes.

The following are the main topics covered in this section:

￿BIRT Administration

￿BIRT Configure Reports

￿BIRT Run Reports

6.2.1Report Administration

As the Report Administrator, you can specify the following for end users:

￿The availability of reports and how they open, run, and print

￿The appearance of report titles and headings

￿Report security settings

The following figures provide a short introduction into the Report Administration application. The look and feel is like all other applications launched from the Start Center. There are two ways to open the Report Administration application. The first way is for the initial administration, the second can be used, when reports are already defined:

￿Start the Report Administration application from the Start Center by selecting Go To → Administration → Reporting → Report Administration as shown below in Figure 6-2.
