Processing gathered events

You can process the gathered events with the Collector wizard. For instructions on how to start the wizard, see Starting the Active Roles Collector wizard.

To process gathered events

  1. On the Select Task page, select the Process gathered events option.

  2. On the Data Processing Task page, specify what you want to do with the events that were gathered from the Administration Service computers and stored in the database. Select one of the following options:

    • Export using date range: Specify the date range for the events you want to export. The time you specify is considered Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

    • Export events older than: Specify the age limit for the events you want to export.

    • Delete events older than: Specify the age limit for the events you want to delete.

  3. Click Next.

  4. On to the Source database page, click Specify, and enter the name and SQL Server of the database from which you want to export or delete the events. You can also choose the authentication option for connection to SQL Server.

  5. Click Next.

  6. On to the Target Database page, click Specify box, and enter the name and SQL Server of the database to which you want to export the events. You can also choose the authentication option for connection to SQL Server.

  7. When finished, click Next to start the operation.

    While the wizard performs the operation you selected, you can see the progress screen, showing you the progress details. When the operation is completed, the wizard displays the final screen that shows you the operation results. You can click View Log to examine the operation log for possible errors.

Importing events from an earlier database version

The new version of the Active Roles reports is incompatible with the database of an earlier Collector version. To create reports based on the events held in that database, you need to import the events to the database of the new Collector version, and then specify the database of the new Collector version as the data source for the reports of the new Report Pack version. For more information, see Configuring the data source.

To import events from the database of an earlier Collector version, start the Collector wizard, and complete the wizard pages as follows. For more information, see Starting the Active Roles Collector wizard.

  1. On the Select Task page, select the Import events from an earlier database version option.

  2. On the Source database page, click Specify, and supply the name, database type, and SQL database server used by your Collector of an earlier version. You can also choose the authentication option for connection to SQL Server.

  3. On the Target Database page, click Specify, and supply the name, database type, and database server of the database used by your Collector of the current version. You can also choose the authentication option for connection to SQL Server.

Deploying reports to the Report Server

Active Roles reports require Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS). Make sure that you have SSRS in your environment. To use Active Roles reports, you first need to deploy them to your SSRS Report Server by using the Collector wizard.

To deploy the Active Roles reports to the Report Server, start the Collector wizard, and complete the wizard pages as follows. For more information, see Starting the Active Roles Collector wizard.

  1. On the Select Task page, select the Deploy reports to Report Server option.

  2. On the Report Server page, type the URL of your SSRS Report Server in the Report Server Web Service URL box.

    By default, the URL is http://<serverName>/ReportServer.

    NOTE: You can use the Reporting Services Configuration Manager tool to confirm the server name and URL. For more information about URLs used in Reporting Services, see Configure Report Server URLs (SSRS Configuration Manager).

  3. (Optional) On the Data Source page, configure the data source for the Active Roles reports:

    1. Click Configure Data Source.

    2. Use the Configure Data Source dialog to specify the Database Server instance that hosts the database you have prepared by using Collector, the name of the database type, and the authentication method to use for connection to the database.

Configuring the data source is an optional step. If you do not have a database prepared by Collector, you can configure the data source later, after you have deployed the reports. For more information, see Configuring the data source.

Once you have deployed the reports to your SSRS Report Server and configured the data source, you can create and view Active Roles reports using Report Manager, a web-based tool included with SSRS. For more information, see Generating and viewing a report.

Working with reports

You use the Active Roles Collector to prepare data for reporting. The data are stored in the database you specify when configuring the data collection job. For more information, see Collector to prepare data for reports. In order to make the data available to the report server, the data source on the report server must be configured to connect to the database that holds the report data. Then, you can generate and view Active Roles reports.
