Hello, I am new to WebFOCUS and i have learned a lot from this forum.

I need to find out if there is way to find out the name of the reports and reporting objects that have been used for the past 90 days.

I would like to see the followin in the report:
'Domain Name', 'Report Name', '.Fex name', 'User ID', 'Folder Path', 'Date Ran', 'Time Ran', 'Shows on User List (y/n)'.

thanks.

You would need Resource Analyzer for that. That is an extra-charge option.

Actually we have resource analyzer and it is enabled. I don't have enough knowledge as to how to pull data from the data I need. I read the documentation of the resource analyser but didn't see any table that contains information about the folder path or reporting object.

Can I creat webfocus report to gather that information from the Resource Analyser?

quote:
If you use Resource Analyzer with WebFOCUS Managed Reporting or ReportCaster,
Resource Analyzer monitors the execution of all procedures initiated from those products
and collects the following information:
❏ Descriptive name of the procedure being monitored
❏ Physical file name (also known as logical name)
❏ Domain name where the monitored procedure resides
❏ Application directory of the procedure in the server's application path
❏ User ID that ran the procedure
❏ Basedir setting for WebFOCUS
❏ Scheduler ID assigned to the procedure (when monitoring ReportCaster only)
❏ Internal procedure name used by distribution server for a scheduled procedure (when
monitoring ReportCaster only)

This is documentation from the manual.

Check the master for smrpcs. Look for the column If you use Resource Analyzer with SMDOMAIN,

quote:
WebFOCUS Domain name that the request
originated from. Blank if the rpc was n


I found all of this information in Appendix B of the RA manual.

Yes, you can create reports by having your admin create master file descriptions for your RA tables. Or you can use passthru.

ok. Great. I will check the documentation and read up more. Also will it give me the info on Reporting Objects and the folder path of the reports.

If I have a report under a folder named 'Test1' and that 'Test 1' folder is in 'Domain A', will I be able to pull data which will show the Report Name, Domain name and the folder name where the report reside?

Domain = Domain A

I don't know for sure as we don't use MRE much. Just play around with it and see what you get. That is the most fun. Print some of the fields and see what they have in them.

If Resource Analyser is not available, then you could collect the data your self.

A similar question was asked before.

Have a look athttp://forums.informationbuild...89102953?r=532106953

The report name is the smrpcname field. This name is actually the name that is stored by webfocus and may not match with the name you see when browsing with developer studio. Here is the method we use to get domain information.
Step 1 run mrextract utilitiy which creates text files. 2. Run a fex to convert those to focus files. 3. Join with the data from resource analyzer. Now we can run reports that show elapsed time who ran etc. We mainly use the SMQUERY Table. Though pull in others as needed for particular reports.

In the "webfocus managed reporting administrators manuel" chapter 9 "managed reporting extract utility" there are directions on how to run the utilitiy plus the masters for the text files and how to run the code to make those focus files for use in reporting. The information on the tables for Resource analyizer are in the Resource analyzer manual
