Section 2, Task 3: Customize Your Report Definitions
In this task, you will customize the report definitions that you used in Section 1.
Prerequisites
1. Your production PDB is the active PDB.
Administration -> manage PDBs -> select the production PDB -> Activate -> WRITE -> OK -> OK
2. You have decided on storage locations for your customized report definitions.
Report definitions exist in two forms, interactive and batch/background.
The interactive form is ready to run in the IT Service Vision GUI. This form is, in effect, a list of the parameters values
that are to be inserted in the report definition window. Another name for the interactive from is the report (window)
definition.
If you run that report definition from the report definition window, IT Service Vision creates the source code that
invokes the appropriate report macro with those parameters and executes that macro invocation. This macro invocation is
the batch/background form of the report definition, and another name for it is the source (code for invoking the report)
macro.
In this task you will save
the interactive form of your report definitions to the ADMIN library of your PDB.
To make use of that library, you do not need to do anything now. Later, you will select that library when asked.
the background from of your report definition (that is, the source macro) to a flat file.
