Setting Report Configuration Parameters

Cisco Unity Connection is automatically set to gather and store data from which you can generate reports. The following parameters can be adjusted, depending on the report output that you want to generate. All report parameter settings are found on the System Settings > Advanced > Reports page in Cisco Unity Connection Administration.

Milliseconds Between Data Collection Cycles—Set by default to 30 minutes (1,800,000 milliseconds). This setting controls the amount of time Connection waits between cycles of gathering report data.

Days to Keep Data in Reports Database—Set by default to 180 days. Note that even if you specify more than this number of days in the time range for the report you are generating, the number of days of data is limited by what you set here.

Maximum Records in Report Output—Set by default to 25,000 records. The maximum value allowed for this field is 30,000 records. If the report you want to generate exceeds the maximum number of records allowed, you can generate the report in pieces, for example by reducing the date range or number of user accounts included in each iteration.


Note The Maximum Records in Report Output setting for the User Message Activity Report has been restricted to 15,000 records—rather than the default of 25,000 records—because of the size of the report.


Minimum Records Needed to Display Progress Indicator—Set by default to 2,500 records. The maximum value allowed for this field is 10,000 records. The purpose of the progress indicator is to warn you if the report you request is large and likely to take a long time to complete. In Connection, reports are generated from within a browser, and the browser session must be kept open while the report is being generated. Depending on the size of the database, and the type of report being generated, a report can take a long time to generate; meanwhile, you will be unable to use the browser, and must keep the Connection Administration session open.

Archiving Report Data

Reports data is gradually written over, depending on parameters that you set for retention of data. We recommend that if you want to keep reports for historical purposes, you develop a schedule for regularly generating reports, and save them in a location separate from the Cisco Unity Connection server.

Generating and Viewing Reports

You can generate and view reports in Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability. To go to Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability, in the navigation drop-down box in the upper-right corner of Cisco Unity Connection Administration, click Cisco Unity Connection Serviceability and click Go.

For details on generating and viewing reports, see the Cisco Unified Serviceability Administration Guide for Cisco Unity Connection at http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6509/prod_maintenance_guides_list.html.
