Reporting Tool
Selecting a Data Source
If the Reporting Tool is installed on the tracing system machine, a data source is
created automatically. If not, you need to select a system data source before you can
use the Reporting Tool.
Procedure 1: Sharing Out the Transaction Database Directory
On the MAS that is running the Tracing Server software, you must share out the
directory in which the transaction database resides.
1. In Windows Explorer, locate the directory in which the transaction
database (TrxDB.mdb) resides.
By default the path to this directory is: C:\Program Files\Avaya
Modular Messaging\Tracing\
2. Right-click the Tracing directory and, from the pop-up menu, select
Sharing & Security.
The system displays the Tracing Properties dialog box.
3. On the Sharing tab, select the Share this folder option.
4. Click Permissions.
The system displays the Permissions for Tracing dialog box.
5. Select Everyone and make sure that at least the Read permission is
set.
Note: The other settings may be set at your discretion.
6. In the Permissions for Tracing dialog box, click OK.
7. In the Tracing Properties dialog box, click Apply.
8. In the Tracing Properties dialog box, select the Security tab.
9. Verify that any users who will be using the Reporting Tool have the
following permissions set:
