Configure HP Reporter integration

HP Reporter software is not installed by default with HPOM. You can install HP Reporter on the same computer as your HPOM management server, or on a different computer. The HP Reporter installation media is included with the HPOM installation media bundle.

Configure HP Reporter with details of HPOM

After you install HP Reporter, you must configure HP Reporter with details of the HPOM management server. For more details, see the HP Reporter Installation and Special Integrations Guide (In the HP Reporter interface, click HelpReporter Document Set or check the product manuals search page at HP Software Support Online )

After you configure HP Reporter with details of HPOM, the Reports snap-in appears in the HPOM console tree. You can configure whether operators can view reports by setting the Reports can be viewed check box in their user roles.

Install HPOM report packages

HPOM provides two report packages for use with HP Reporter. If you install the HPOM management server on a computer that already has HP Reporter installed, the HPOM installation installs the packages automatically. Otherwise, you can find the report package installers in the following locations on the HPOM installation media:

• \Packages\FoundationSPIs\HPOvSpiWinosR-<version number>-WinNT4.0-release.msi
• \Packages\FoundationCore\OVOWServiceReports\HP Operations Manager Reports for Windows.msi

The same packages are also available on the HP Operations Smart Plug-ins installation media. For more information, see the HP Operations Smart Plug-ins DVD Installation and Upgrade Guide.

Reconfigure the HP Reporter server name and port in HPOM

HP Reporter automatically configures its server name and port on the HPOM management server. If these details later change, you can reconfigure HPOM to connect to a different server or port.

1. In the console tree, right-click Operations Manager, and then click ConfigureServer.... The Server Configuration dialog box opens.
2. Click Namespaces, and then click HP Reporter Integration. A list of values appears.
3. Optional. Set the value of Port.

4. Optional. Set the value of Server name.

   NOTE:
   If you set an empty Server name, the Reports snap-in disappears from the console tree.

5. Click Apply.

NOTE:
The HPOM console requests reports directly from the HP Reporter server using Windows components. For each computer that runs an HPOM console, the Internet Options in Windows must be correctly configured to communicate with the HP Reporter web server.
