The SAS IT Resource Management client includes an
Adapter
Setup wizard. This wizard enables you to define and create
staging jobs, aggregation jobs, information map jobs, and reporting
jobs that process the raw data for an IT resource. These jobs include
predefined configurations that are based on industry intelligence
that represents a best estimate about the types of aggregations and
reports that most sites need for analysis.
The
Adapter
Setup wizard creates reporting jobs that produce reports
that are good choices for many users. To examine the reports that
SAS IT Resource Management provides, you can use the
Adapter
Setup wizard to process a sample set of data and then
create and run the resulting report jobs. You can then use Gallery
Manager to view the reports that are generated.
If the supplied reports
do not meet all of the specific reporting needs for your environment,
then you can identify the modifications that you want to make to the
reporting jobs. You can then work with the corresponding supplied
SAS Enterprise Guide projects and reporting architecture to implement
your modifications.
For more information,
see How to Create or Modify Your Own Batch Reports.Note: If your site does not process
data from any of the data sources for which SAS IT Resource Management
provides an adapter, then you can use an alternate data source to
process a sample set of data to run the
Adapter Setup wizard
and view the reports that it generates. For example, some data sources
that are commonly available in IT enterprises are SAR for UNIX systems,
SNMP for IP networks, or a trial license of Demand Technology Performance
Sentry for Windows systems.
After the wizard creates
the appropriate jobs, you can schedule and run each as needed. The
jobs process the raw data in a manner that is specified by or based
on a selected adapter and domain category.
