Loading and Reloading Advanced Reporting Data

When you first open an Advanced Report configuration page, the system loads all the data from the library log file for that
report to the internet browser in preparation for creating your reports. If there is a lot of information in the log files, this may
take several minutes.
The data that is loaded in the internet browser remains unchanged until you log out of your library session or reload the data.
If new data is added to the library log file during your session (for instance, a TapeAlert occurs), it will not appear in the
onscreen report until you either log out of the library and log on again, or reload the data. To reload the data without logging
out, click the Reload button. This reloads the entire data set, which may again take several minutes.
You can see how many records were loaded from the log files for this report by looking at the Report Data section of the
report configuration page. A note says "XX records read," where XX is the number of records (see

Caution:
Once you delete the data in the log files, you cannot get it back. The Reload button does NOT retrieve
deleted data! It is recommended that you save all the data for both the Drive Resource Utilization report and the Media
Integrity Analysis report before deleting the data (see
