Content Synchronization Status Report Set - Oracle
The Content Synchronization Status Report Set is a set of useful reports to know about the status of your content on each of the available content servers. They also provide a graphical view of the content synchronization status. However, the reports currently work against the Sybase database. We have modified the reports to work with Oracle database as well.
