Network Report Definition
The Network Report Definition feature provides the definitions and formats
used in the reports.
The report definition provides the scope and print parameters for the report.
For example, the parameters can specify the time frame a report is to
encompass. In addition, a report type and format must be defined for a
report. The formats, which can be tabular or graphic, dictate how the data
appears on the screen. After a report is generated, it can be printed or
previewed on the screen.
A maximum of 250 public report definitions can be stored for future use.
These definitions can be in tabular and/or graphic format. A maximum of
five private report definitions can also be stored by each system supervisor.
Public reports can be used by any supervisor. However, only the system
administrator can define, overwrite, or delete public reports. Personal
reports are used only by the supervisor who created them.
The report formats used in a report definition can either be customized or
selected from the predefined list provided in the "Standard management
reports" chapter. Report formats can also be public (100 tabular and 100
graphic) or personal (five tabular and five graphic per supervisor).
The data for the reports originates within each of the network's Meridian
MAX nodes. When a report is ready to be executed, the necessary
information is requested from each node. The NAC allows up to 30 minutes
of system time for the requested information to be collected. The report
fails if this time is exceeded. However, the 30-minute limit can be
extended. Contact the Northern Telecom representative for further details.
