Once a report instance has run, you can view summary information about it. OpenEdge Management displays the following information for each completed report instance:

  • The report name
  • The start time (when the report began running)
  • The end time (when the report finished running)
  • The exit code

A report's exit code indicates whether or not the process succeeded. Typically, an exit code of zero indicates success, while a nonzero code indicates an error. For more information on nonzero exit codes, search the log file. If a report running in Windows returns a positive, nonzero code, use the net helpmsg command for information.

To view a report's history:

  1. If the report's Summary page is not displayed, in the management console menu choose the report by either:
    • Selecting Reports > Report Scheduling > Defined Reports.
    • Selecting Reports > Go to Reports > View Report History.

    The Report History page appears.

  2. In the Report History query section, select the range of dates in the From and To fields.
  3. Click Submit. The report's history appears on the bottom of the Report History page.
    Note: The previous steps show how to access the history of a single report. For the history of all reports run, click View Report History from the OpenEdge Management Reports page (shown in Figure 1). Continue from Step 2 in the previous procedure. The query returns results for any reports run during the date range.

To remove a report's history, follow the previous steps. After submitting the query dates, click Purge Selection. Once you purge a selection, you can no longer access the report's history for that time frame.
