Publishing Reports to Quest Knowledge Portal

Reporting administrators can publish any report to Quest Knowledge Portal. Once published, users with access can generate these reports from a web browser.

You can publish an entire container at once. All reports in the container will appear in a flat list, even if they were originally in a subcontainer in Enterprise Reporter.

Before publishing a report, verify that a report with the same name has not already been published. Reports with the same name will be overwritten automatically.

You should verify any reports that have been published with errors. Use the Open Log option to examine details in the log and determine what issues to resolve. Some features, such as scripts, which are possible in Enterprise Reporter, are not supported by Quest Knowledge Portal. When you run a report in QKP with filters, data types, fields or controls that are not supported, the field will appear as undefined. You can modify the report to resolve the errors in Enterprise Reporter (see Editing Reports) and then republish it. For example, you could change an operator.
