Exporting Reports to XML or CSV

AWMS allows you to export individual reports in XML (xhtml) or CSV. You can also export all reports at once
and a zip file will be generated with all of the files in CSV format included. These files may be read by an HTML
browser or opened in Excel. The CSV files can be opened in any text editor such as MS Notepad or Word.
Perform the following steps to export reports to XML, MS Excel, and CSV:
1. Navigate to the Reports > Generated page and click the name of the report you wish to export. You can also
click on the link at the bottom of the page for the latest version of a report. The corresponding Detail page
displays.
2. On the top right of the page, click XML (XHTML) export or CSV export. After a moment the XML page
appears in your browser or, if you chose CSV export, a File Download window appears prompting you for a
location on which it can save the .zip CSV files.
3. In your browser, click File > Save As. Define the filename and location, select Web Page Complete as the file
type, then click Save. A brief Save Webpage status box appears to display the saving process. Allow the process
sufficient time, particularly for reports that contain many links or large graphics. If you are downloading a .zip
file, you only need to navigate to the desired location, and click Save.
4. Open the resulting file in MS Excel. You may need to display files of all type to access the file.
5. From Excel you can save the report as a single file using the Save As > Excel Workbook option (Excel 2007).
You can also save it as an .xls file for compatibility with older versions of Excel though some formatting in the
report might not be supported.
Note: This method of exporting files supports graphics and links, and prevents Missing File C:\filename.css error messages.

Transferring Reports Using FTP

Once reports are generated, you can also copy them to any ftp accessible destination using a sample script located
in the /var/airwave/custom directory. Contact Dell support for more information.
