DSM/SCM Reports
You can generate a variety of reports to help you analyze software and resources
managed by DSM/SCM. Report information describing the status of software
configurations managed by DSM/SCM is extracted from the DSM/SCM database and
formatted by SQL:
DSM/SCM reports are located at $volume.subvolume.ZZRScncc.
Custom Reports
Modifying standard reports and creating custom reports require detailed knowledge of
SQL/MP report writer commands and syntax elements. See the SQL/MP Report Writer
Guide.
Standard Reports
Standard DSM/SCM reports are preformatted with headers, footers, titles, number
formats, and so on. You do not need special knowledge of SQL syntax or the Report
Writer to produce standard reports.
