About Database Reports
About Database Reports
HPOM provides preconfigured reports for the administrator and the
operators. In addition, you can create customized reports using the
report writer supplied with the installed database or any other
report-writing tool.
You can do the following with database reports:
❏

❏
Display in a window
Save to a file
Print
Defining a Printer for Reports
You can define a printer for reports using the X resource,
Opc.printCommand, in the general application defaults file:
/opt/OV/lib/X11/app-defaults//Opc
Or you can use Opc.printCommand in your private file:
$HOME/.Xdefaults
Configuring Timeouts for Report Generation
If you expect that generating a report may take longer than five minutes,
set the keyword OPC_REPORT_TIMEOUT using the command-line tool
ovconfchg on the HP Operations management server. By default, this
keyword assumes a value of 300 seconds. To increase the time-out, set
the keyword using the ovconfchg, specify the desired value in seconds,
and restart your GUI session.
Generating Reports for the Internet
You can retrieve specific information directly from the database and
publish and view the resulting reports in graphically rich formats on the
Internet. To generate these Internet-ready reports, use enhanced
reporting features of HPOM in conjunction with HP Service Reporter.
For more information, see the documentation supplied with the HP
Service Reporter and the HPOM Concepts Guide.
