NOTE: Reports with historical data changes analyze data changes in a One Identity Manager History Database. If the One Identity Manager History Database is linked by an ID to the database’s TimeTrace, you must log in to the Report Editor through an application server that has this ID in its configuration file (web.config). For detailed information about connecting to the One Identity Manager History Database through an application server and the required configuration, see the One Identity Manager Operational Guide.
Create and edit reports with the Report Editor program. Reports are stored in the database DialogReport table. The following steps are required to create a report:
-
Defining report properties, data sources, and report parameters.
-
Designing the report form with the Report Designer.
Predefined reports supplied with One Identity Manager by default, automatically customized during schema installation. If customizations are required to the default reports:
-
Create a copy of the report.
-
Edit the required report properties.
-
Use the customized report from now on.
When you add or copy a report, the property dialog box opens first, which you use to enter the general data for the report, the data source required and an parameters for the report definition. Then a new report form is created in the edit view with the Report Designer. This forms the basis of the report design. Using the Report Designer’s toolbar, you can place the controls you want on the report form.
