Getting started with the CommandCentral family 23
About Veritas CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter
You can now use these custom attributes in Enterprise Reporter reports. In Query Studio, they appear in the list of storage object views with the prefix of "Custom Attribute." For example, to see custom attributes in the Switch Analysis package in Query Studio, select Switch Analysis Views > by Switch Attributes > Switch.
Data source preparation enhancements
To prepare CommandCentral Storage data sources for data rollup in Enterprise Reporter 5.0, you needed to run scripts that added users and updated the data sources database schema. With Enterprise Reporter 5.0 MP1, you no longer need to run these scripts. Instead, when you add a new data source, Enterprise Reporter automatically prepares the data source before adding it.
Data rollup view enhancements
Enterprise Reporter 5.0 MP1 includes enhanced Data Rollup Configuration views that improve usability and efficiency. For example, if you enter the fully qualified host name or IP address of the database server host when you add a data source, Enterprise Reporter fills in related data source information. Additionally, fields that were not integral to the process of setting up a data source were removed from these views.
Storage tier rule builder enhancements
In addition to the Advanced Rule Builder, Enterprise Reporter 5.0 MP1 now includes a Basic Rule Builder. Both of these tools help you create rules that govern the assignment of storage to specific storage tiers, but the Basic Rule Builder lessens the complexity of creating and modifying rules. For example, in the Basic Rule Builder, you no longer have to type complex SQL statements. The Advanced Rule Builder remains in Enterprise Reporter.
For more information about these tools and storage tier rules, see the CommandCentral Enterprise Reporter Administrator’s Guide.
