Scheduling Report Cleanup
Temporary files are created when you use Reporter to create reports. The report cleanup does not
delete any data. It is used primarily for deleting temporary files related to report management, such
as when a report is viewed in the PDF or Microsoft Excel format.
You can schedule how often these files are removed, as described in the following steps:
1. Select Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration in HP Systems Insight Manager.
2. Click the Report Cleanup tab at the top of the screen.
3. Set the date, time, and repeat interval for this task. For more information, see ”Setting the Date
and Time for Scheduled Tasks” on page 181.
4. Click the Enable option.
5. Click Save Changes.
Refreshing the Report Cache
The management server gathers information for reports from the database every six hours. The
management server stores this information in its report cache and displays it when a report is
requested. If you are seeing outdated information in the report, you can refresh the report using one
of the following methods:
• Refresh the report cache now. - See ”Refreshing the Report Cache Immediately” on page 208.
• Schedule the report cache to be refreshed. - See ”Scheduling a Report Cache Refresh” on
page 208.
