Adding Reports to the Report Center

Although the Service Architecture provides a set of reports that cover many aspects of monitoring a SAS environment, you might want to add your own reports to the Report Center. Because the reports in the Report Center are produced by stored processes, adding a report involves creating a new stored process and registering it in metadata. You can also create your own reports by copying and modifying existing reports.

Click Next when you are finished.
  7. Select the application server that will run the stored process, select the source code repository, and specify the file that contains the stored process. Select both the Stream and Package check boxes in the Result Capabilities area.
