The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Make sure that prerequisites are met before you access Cisco Unified Reporting.
Cisco Unified Reporting runs as an application on the Cisco Tomcat service, which activates when you install Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service. Ensure that these products are running on all nodes in the cluster.
The report subsystem gathers information from other nodes by using an RPC mechanism via HTTPS. Ensure the HTTPS port is open and the Cisco Tomcat service is running on the node to successfully generate a report.
To enable HTTPS, you must download a certificate that identifies the node during the connection process. You can accept the node certificate for the current session only, or you can download the certificate to a trust folder (file) to secure the current session and future sessions with that node. The trust folder stores the certificates for all your trusted sites. For more information about HTTPS, see the "Introduction" chapter in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager Administration Guide.
To access the application, you access the Administration interface in a browser window. Cisco Unified Reporting uses HTTPS to establish a secure connection to the browser.
