The DRA Reporting Database now features improved data collector performance.
NOTE:After installing this update, the ActiveView Group and User Accounts report and the ActiveView Groups report will no longer contain data. To view the data, you have two options:
You can wait for the DRA collector to run at its scheduled time, at which point the data will be available to generate the two reports mentioned earlier.
