You can configure customized reports of the contents of the Command Control configuration database, which are dynamically created and e-mailed to the specified person at defined intervals. You can use Perl template scripting to extract the required information and format it into an e-mail for the target person. An option is available for sending your reports to the Compliance Auditor for escalation management.
To use this feature, you must provide details of your e-mail server to the Messaging Component (msgagnt) so that reports can be e-mailed. See Configuring SMTP Settings for the Messaging Component Package for details.
