For more information on all of the fields in a remote profile, follow this path:
From the main window, select Administration -> Manage PDBs -> File -> Include PDB -> click on the
rightward arrow that is associated with the Remote Server Profile field -> UNIX or MVS-> OK-> Help
Note: Because IT Service Vision clients usually have network access to the server if the server is on Windows
NT, the clients rarely need to use a remote profile to access a PDB on a Windows NT server.
2. For downloading PDB data to client hosts, make a SAS library containing a subset of the data in the PDB(s).
The following instructions prepare a downloadable SAS library of data for use by the DeskTop Reporter component of
the client GUI. The macro that creates the downloadable library should be added to your daily production job after the
process and reduce steps.
Note: The instructions apply primarily to RMF data from a PDB on the MVS server and to HP MeasureWare data from
a PDB on the Open Systems server.
The summarized data used by the Open Systems Data DeskTop Reporter are created using programs and scripts from the
IT Service Vision Showroom. The Showroom provides examples of exploiting the facilities of IT Service Vision to
organize and report on information technology data sources using a variety of data presentation techniques.
These techniques include using interactive "drill-down" reports in the DeskTop Reporter as well as html-based reports
that are built automatically from your data. The Showroom appears on the same CD as the DeskTop Reporter. To browse
the contents of the Showroom, point a frame-capable browser (such as Netscape 3.x or Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 3.x)
to the welcome.htm file in the SHOWROOM directory on the CD and follow the instructions there for the DeskTop
Reporter.
The DeskTop Reporter can be used as-is to report on your PDB data, but it is
most valuable to you when you extend it to suit your own needs.
Modifying the DeskTop Reporter consists of three phases:
1. Copy the DeskTop Reporter programs and data to your own, writable area.
2. Remove the supplied reports you do not want.
3. Update the list of data sets to download to remove the data sets that
correspond to the reports you removed in step 2 above.
4. Modify the remaining reports to suit your taste.
1.COPY THE DESKTOP REPORTER
To create your own copy of the Desktop Reporter, see "IT Service Vision
Client CD: Installation and Usage" included in printed form with the Desktop
Reporter software shipment or point a Web browser to the Showroom file:

on the CD containing the Desktop Reporter and Showroom software.
After copying the portions of the Desktop Reporter of interest to you,
