Creating a performance-analysis report

This task describes how to create a performance-analysis report using a predefined or customized report definition.

To create a report using a predefined or customized report definition:

  1. In the IBM Director Console Tasks pane, expand Capacity Manager.
  2. Expand Report Generator.
  3. Drag the report definition that you want to use onto one or more managed systems or group. A status window opens to indicate the progress. If the report definition specifies that the report is sent to the report viewer, the Report Viewer window opens. If the report definition specifies that the report is sent to a file, the report is saved automatically. Unless you specify a directory in the report definition, the file is saved to the default directory, IBM\Director\reports..
  4. If you selected a report definition that is saved to a file, specify one of these options:
    • Click Execute Now to generate the report now. A status window opens to indicate progress. The report is saved to the directory specified in the report definition or to the default directory, \IBM\Director\reports.
    • Click Schedule to set a time to generate the report.
If the report definition specifies that the report is to be displayed in the report viewer, the Report Viewer window opens.
