The Data Processing Service (DPS) Reporter generates reports and dashboards for display by the Control Compliance Suite Console. In addition, a single DPS Reporter is assigned to perform database synchronization between the production database and the reporting database.

The reporter executes the list of queries that are specific to the selected dashboard or the selected report. On the basis of these queries, the reporter retrieves data from the reporting database and creates the report.

The DPS Reporter that is assigned to synchronize data synchronizes the contents of the reporting and the production databases. Synchronization occurs based on a schedule that you specify or when an evaluation job triggers the synchronization.

The computer that hosts the DPS Reporter must have the Crystal Reports engine installed. The Crystal Reports installer is available on the Control Compliance Suite product disc.
