ObjectiveThis presentation covers how to capture reports and usage within a WebFOCUS environment. Each report writes an event record to monitor usage, a report record to capture keywords, and a group record to determine report location/domain. A dashboard hosts this data so that a user can find a report based on keyword or popularity and can then subscribe to that report.

Production Control ChallengesAs of January 2011, our Reporting Environment consisted of approximately 1400 customer facing reporting solutions.
These solutions are located in one or more of our 79 reporting domains.
Customers were having trouble locating the reports that they may use on occasion.
There was a need for a new way to manage our growing inventory of reporting solutions.

Establishing a Report Inventory
1. Determine what you would like to capture from each report.
2. Establish a place to capture this data.
3. Factor in production control policies for ensuring reports are added to your inventory in a consistent manner.

Run Events Program
Every time a report is executed you will want to store a record in your events table to capture who ran what report.
All production reports contain an include command that points to a program with this code in it:
-SET &USERID = &IBIMR_user;DEFINE FILE TABLENAMEEVENTTIME/HYYMDs = HGETC(10, 'HYYMDs');EVENTTYPE/A10 = 'RUN';USERID/A10 = UPCASE(10,'&USERID',USERID);DOMAINID/A10 = '&GROUPID';REPORTID/A8 = '&REPORTID';ENDTABLE FILE TABLENAMEPRINTEVENTTIMEEVENTTYPEUSERIDDOMAINIDREPORTIDON TABLE HOLD AS RUNEVENT FORMAT ALPHAEND-RUNMODIFY FILE SQLTABLENAMEFIXFORM FROM RUNEVENTDATA ON RUNEVENTEND-RUN
INFORMATION SERVICES
Report Details ProgramEvery time a report is executed you will want to store or update a record in your report table to capture the details of each report.
Note that your domain table can be updated manually since it may not change often.
All production reports contain an include command that points to a program with this code in it:
DEFINE FILE TABLENAMEREPORTID/A8 = '&REPORTID';DOMAINID/A10 = '&DOMAINID';RPTTITLE/A50 = '&RPTTITLE';SECURITY/A25 = '&SECURITY';KEYWORDS/A100 = '&KEYWORDS';ENDTABLE FILE TABLENAMEPRINTREPORTIDDOMAINIDRPTTITLESECURITYKEYWORDSON TABLE HOLD AS RPTDTL FORMAT ALPHAEND-RUNMODIFY FILE SQLTABLENAMEFIXFORM FROM RPTDTLMATCH REPORTID DOMAINIDON MATCH UPDATE RPTTITLE SECURITY KEYWORDSON NOMATCH INCLUDEDATA ON RPTDTLEND-RUN
INFORMATION SERVICES
Program HeadersThe include commands will need to have variables set for each report so that information about each execution can be captured uniquely for each report.
Below is a sample of what variables are set for each report in our production environment:
-SET &USERID = UPCASE(25,&IBIMR_user,&IBIMR_user);-SET &RPTNAME = 'Unit Admission Report';-SET &GROUPID = 'MYDOMAIN';-SET &REPORTID = 'UNITADMS';-SET &SECURITY = 'PROTECTED';-SET &KEYWORDS = 'ADMIT SOURCE ADMISSIONS UNIT ADMITTING DIAGNOSIS';-MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE RUNEVENT-MRNOEDIT -INCLUDE RPTDTL
