You can use Interactive Reporting (in the SAP Solution Manager Technical Monitoring work center) to display the development of the most important monitoring data in your monitored systems, over time, centrally. You can identify potential problems early, and get an overview of the load and performance of your systems. SAP provides pre-defined reports for the following types of managed objects:

  • Systems

  • Scenarios

  • Hosts

  • Databases

The reports delivered are grouped in categories by these types. There need not be each category for each type:

  • Availability

  • Performance

  • Exceptions

  • Capacity

  • Usage

You can now display and group the reports according to your requirements:

  • You can hide reports which you no longer need.

  • You can change the sequence and categories of reports displayed.

  • You can regroup the reports displayed, by creating your own categoriesand putting the reports in them.

  • You can rename reports and categories.

  • You can also put your own reports into interactive reporting, to specify which data is to be displayed, in which format. The creation of reports of this type is described in the procedure Creating Your Own Queries for Interactive Reporting. You can put your own queries in your interactive reporting, so that they are displayed with the reports delivered by SAP.

This procedure explains how you can make these changes.
