| Modifying
the Desktop Reporter |
|
|
The DeskTop Reporter can be used as-is to report on your PDB data, but it is
most valuable to you when you extend it to suit your own needs.
Modifying the DeskTop Reporter consists of three phases:
1. Copy the DeskTop Reporter programs and data to your own, writable area.
2. Remove the supplied reports you do not want.
3. Update the list of data sets to download to remove the data sets that
correspond to the reports you removed in step 2 above.
4. Modify the remaining reports to suit your taste.
1.COPY THE DESKTOP REPORTER
To create your own copy of the Desktop Reporter, see "IT Service Vision
Client CD: Installation and Usage" included in printed form with the Desktop
Reporter software shipment or point a Web browser to the Showroom file:
showroom/html/instusag.htm
on the CD containing the Desktop Reporter and Showroom software.
After copying the portions of the Desktop Reporter of interest to you,
modify your copy of the autoexec.sas file to remove references to the
applications you did not copy, change your working directory to the
directory containing the Desktop Reporter files, and start SAS and the
Desktop Reporter in the normal way.
2.REMOVE UNNEEDED SUPPLIED REPORTS
To remove unneeded reports, you will need to have licensed either IT Service
Vision or SAS/AF. Start the SAS system and enter the EIS command in the
command area of the tool bar. Select "Build EIS" and set the "Path" to your
copy of the OSYSEIS catalog and the "Application Database" to "Open
SystemsDeskTop Reporter". Identify the reports and buttons you do not want
in "STRUCTURE OF OPEN SYSTEMS DESKTOP REPORTER" below and remove their
entries from the BLOCK or LISTMENU that invokes them (you are removing only
the pointer to the EIS object -- not the object itself -- they are not very
big and can be useful as examples later on).
To remove an entry from a LISTMENU or BLOCK menu, select and "Edit" the menu
entry and select "Edit menu text". Use the vertical scroll bar to position
yourself to the entry to be removed and select "Delete".
3.UPDATE THE LIST OF DATA SETS TO DOWNLOAD
Downloading application data from Unix is controlled by a list of data sets
in SAS data set DTR_DOWN. This data sets exists in each application's EIS
library. For example, the list of data sets to be downloaded for OSYS data
is in OSYSEIS.DTR_DOWN.
To avoid attempting to download data sets you do not want for the reports
you have just removed or to add new data sets for reports you create, update
the download data set list. See "UPDATING THE LIST OF DATA SETS TO
DOWNLOAD" in Help entry "Downloading Data from Unix" for instructions on how
to update the list.
4.MODIFY THE REMAINING REPORTS
To modify one of the supplied reports, start SAS and EIS and select "Build
EIS". From the Build EIS screen, select the entry for the report you want
to modify, "Copy" it to a name of your choice, and then "Edit" the copy.
To cause data sets required by the updated reports to be downloaded, you
will need to update the list of data sets to download. See "UPDATING THE
LIST OF DATA SETS TO DOWNLOAD" in Help entry "Downloading Data from Unix"
for instructions on how to update the list.
You can use the Help button associated with the Edit screen for the type of
entry you are updating for suggestions of how to change the report. For an
overview of what other things are possible with SAS/EIS, select the
"Tutorial" on the EIS Main Menu. See also publications "Getting Started
with SAS/EIS" and "SAS/EIS Reference" available from SAS Institute Book
Sales.
STRUCTURE OF OPEN SYSTEMS DESKTOP REPORTER
The following is a concise representation of the menu structure of the Open
Systems DeskTop Reporter. This list can be used to identify the names of
components that produce a report so as to modify or remove references to the
component.
Syntax of each line is:
EntryName:InputDataName - TextDescription
where
EntryName name of the catalog entry or EIS object
InputDataName name of summary ds or mddb in OSYSDATA
TextDescription text description of the entry
EntryName uses these abbreviations:
o. = osyseis.osyseis
i. = itsveis.itsveis

.m = mddb
.s = summary data set
