Generating and viewing reports
You can generate either an HTML or XML report file detailing the repository contents, target
firmware, target installable details, and failed dependencies. You can view both files in a web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer. The reports support JavaScript-enabled web browsers
Internet Explorer 6.0 or Mozilla Firefox 3.5 and later. The XML reports also allow you to write
programs to pull the report information and display it in other locations.
NOTE: Not all reports are available on all screens. If a report is not available, HP SUM grays
out the report.
