Compressed data transport mode

One of two types of data storage modes used by Quest Reporter. This mode collects and compresses the data on the Reporter Data Collector (RDC) host. The compressed data pack is then streamed to the Console host, decompressed and uploaded to the database. Compressed data transport is available only with remote scheduled collections. See also Direct data transport mode.

Connected domains

Domains managed by Reporter and instantiated within the Reporter user interface.

Container object

An object that can logically contain other objects. For example, a folder is a container object.
