22.3 Available Reporting Information

The ZENworks Endpoint Security Management reporting database is designed to closely model the star schema format. The star schema is a single “fact” table containing a compound primary key, with one segment for each dimension and additional columns of additive, numeric facts.

The Reporting Service includes the following two dimension tables:

ORGANIZATION_DIM: The organization table defines the instances of users, groups, organizational units, containers, and services in a hierarchal relationship. Each row represents one of these units.

UNIT_MEMBER_DIM: Association of organization units to other organization units. For example, although a user can be stored within a specific container within Active Directory, the user might also be a member of an organization unit or security groups. Each row represents a relationship of organization units.

The data source must be defined to the reporting tool. For most third-party applications, the following steps are necessary:

  1. Define an OLEDB ADO connection to the server hosting the Management Service.

  2. Select the Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server.

  3. Specify the Management Service server as the server.

  4. Specify the SQL account name and password.

  5. Specify the Reporting Service database name (default name is STRSDB) as the database.
