32.2 Running Identity Governance Reports

You can run the reports at any time. You can also create a schedule to run the report regularly.

NOTE:Scheduled reports should always use the date and time for the server where you installed Identity Reporting. When you use Identity Reporting in an environment distributed across multiple time zones, scheduled reports might run at a time other than the scheduled hour. This occurs because of the discrepancy between the time zones for the server that hosts Identity Reporting compared to the computer from which you scheduled the report. For example, a user in London schedules a report to run at 4 a.m., with the assumption that the report runs according to Greenwich Mean Time. However, the reporting server in New York City runs the job at 4 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time, which is five hours later than the user planned.

    Criteria

    Ensure that you specify a data source that relates to the report type. If Identity Reporting cannot run the report against the specified data source, Identity Reporting displays an <!> icon beside Data source.

    You can specify the language for fields in the report. The data in the report will always be in the language of its data source.

    Default Notifications

    You can send the report to anyone. Simply specify the values for the notifications.

    Schedule

    You can add and remove scheduled runs of the report. You can also have several scheduled runs with different names. To ensure that the report includes the most recent data, select Attempt data collection before scheduled run.
