Generating a Report

To generate a report, select Reports->Category->Specific Report

Each report contains basic and advanced configuration options which are used for configuring the reports.

Click on Run Now to generate the report immediately.

Note: As of AMM 2.16, reports which require considerable time to generate may only be generated for a limited number of gateways (by default, 10 or less), and a message will be displayed by the AMM in such cases.

Note: As of AMM 2.17.2, if the report generation process has an error, such as Out of Memory or is down, then the message System is busy. Please try later. will be displayed and the process will automatically be restarted.

Click on Run in Background to run the report in the background and to save the report on the server (go to Reports->Generated Reports for the report). Click on Save for later or schedule a run time to save the report for future use without immediately generating it or to schedule it. Please refer to Saving and Scheduling a Report for a Later Run Time for more information.

Reports also provide the following functions:

Save Results: Allows the report to be saved on the AMM. To view the report, navigate to Reports->Generated Reports (also be sure to specify the day that the report was run on the selection criteria of the Generated Reports listing screen).

CSV: Open and/or save the report in Excel.

Change: Change the report but retain the same gateway(s) and information in the input fields.

Edit: Edit the existing report input fields to generate different results.

Generated Reports

The Generated Reports panel contains the list of all saved reports. When generating reports, users can save the report to the server.

Reports are listed with the most recent at the top. Click on a report name to view it. Click on a column header to sort the list. To delete a report, select it and click on Delete.

To filter the list, select a time period from the dropdown, enter a value into the filter box and click Search. This will list only those reports which were generated within the specified time period.

Upon clicking on a generated report in the list, the report will be displayed and the following options will be available:

Delete: deletes the current generated report

Email: provides a popup through which the report can be emailed to one or more recipients. The popup provides fields to specify recipient email addresses, the sender’s email address, a subject, and a custom message. The custom message is prepended to the report content in the email.

Note: the AMM will automatically append a link to the report at the bottom of the email. The base URL of this link is configured by the AMM administrator and if it is changed, the backend processes of the AMM must be restarted in order for the new base URL to be used in the report emails. For hosted AMM’s, contact Support to restart these processes.

Note: the sender’s name will appear as “Sierra Wireless Availability Analysis Engine”

Link: displays a popup containing the URL to the report which can be copied and pasted for later use (e.g. to send in an email).

CSV: exports the report to CSV.

Change: provides a list of all report types, allowing the report to be changed to a different report type.

Edit: displays the report edit screen where report parameters can be changed.
