Reporting

Novell^® ZENworks^® for Servers (ZfS) provides predefined reports for the Policy and Distribution Services components. There are six reports for Server Policies, and four for Tiered Electronic Distribution (TED).

Policy and Distribution Services reports are accessed from the menu options of certain ZfS objects. All reports can be accessed from the ZENworks Database object, and the TED reports can be accessed from the Subscriber and Distribution objects. These reports should not be accessed from the ConsoleOne^® reporting feature.

A selected report displays all of the applicable Server Policies or TED information currently logged in the database. There are options for defining the parameters of some reports, such as date ranges, or selecting Policy Package objects or TED objects.

A ZENworks database file (ZFSLOG.DB) is used to store the report information. Once you have installed and run the database and data has been placed in ZFSLOG.DB, Policy and Distribution Services reporting is enabled.

You can create custom reports using the table definitions listed under Database Contents .
