Reporting Components across SAS Products and Applications

When working with batch reporting for SAS IT Resource Management, you might need to work with several of the reporting components that are described in this chapter. These components are accessible in various SAS products and applications that you use to create, modify, and view SAS IT Resource Management reports.

For example, working with a reporting component might require that you access Gallery Manager, SAS Enterprise Guide, and the SAS IT Resource Management client to complete modifications for the reporting process. The recommended process for modifying a supplied report is to view the properties of a report in Gallery Manager, identify the reporting components that correspond to that report, and modify the reporting components as needed. For more information, see How to Create or Modify Your Own Batch Reports.

The Report Properties dialog box in Gallery Manager provides the SAS Enterprise Guide project, process flow, and ITRM Gallery task names. It also provides the domain category and information map (the data source from which the report is generated) that are associated with a report. This report metadata enables you to locate the corresponding SAS Enterprise Guide project, process flow, information map, and ITRM Gallery task from which the report was designed and created. This report metadata also enables you to use the SAS IT Resource Management client to locate the domain category, information map, report job, and Gallery transformation that are created and deployed to produce the report.

The following three figures show the relationships of these reporting components as they are represented in each of the SAS products and applications that you might use to identify and specify them. A single reporting component is marked with the same number in each of the three figures for easy comparison.
