What Are the Adapter Setup and Add Domain Category Wizards?

The SAS IT Resource Management client includes an Adapter Setup wizard and an Add Domain Category wizard. These wizards enable you to define and create staging, aggregation, information map, 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 wizards create reporting jobs that produce reports that are good choices for many users. To examine the reports that SAS IT Resource Management provides, use a wizard to process a sample set of data and then create and run the resulting information map jobs and report jobs. You can then use ITRM Report Center to view the reports that are generated. Alternatively, you can view the sample reports on the SAS IT Resource Management website. To access these reports, navigate to this site: http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/itsv/#itrm35. Then scroll down to the Samples of Supplied Reports section where the supplied sample reports are located.
If the supplied reports do not meet all of the specific reporting needs for your environment, 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: Your site might not process data from any of the data sources for which SAS IT Resource Management provides an adapter. In that case, you can view sample reports on the SAS IT resource Management product page, which is located here: http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/itsv. To view the reports, scroll down to the Samples of Supplied Reports section of the page.
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.
