Setting Up Reporting
The reporting setup you need depends on the kind of reports you want to
generate, as summarized in the table below. Steps for completing the reporting
setup are given after the table.
IMPORTANT: Reporting works only if you run ConsoleOne on a Windows
computer with 128 MB of RAM. It doesn’t work if you run ConsoleOne on NetWare,
Linux, Solaris, or Tru64. In addition, the eDirectory tree you are reporting on must
contain a NetWare volume to install the report catalog files on. If your eDirectory
tree doesn’t contain a NetWare server, you can’t set up reporting in ConsoleOne.
