Overview: Reports
You can use Cisco Unity reports to gain information about subscribers and system activity. Some Cisco Unity reports provide information about subscribers and system activity over a period of time. Others offer a "snapshot" of a particular Cisco Unity entity as it stands at the time you run the report.
Refer to the following sections in this chapter to learn more about using Cisco Unity reports:
•About Report Data—This section provides information about how Cisco Unity gathers and stores report data, and which settings you can change to ensure that your reports contain the data you need.
•Generating Reports—This section details how to generate, view, and print Cisco Unity reports.
Refer to the following sections in this chapter for information on specific reports:
Subscriber reports:
•Subscribers Report—This report includes profile and account information about each subscriber.
•Subscriber Message Activity Report—This report shows when subscriber messages were left and when they were accessed.
•Distribution Lists Report—This report shows the owner, members, and creation date of public distribution lists.
•Failed Login Report—This report shows details of failed attempts to log on to subscriber accounts (by phone) and to the Cisco Unity Administrator.
•Storage Usage Report—This report shows the storage limits and disk space used for messages by a subscriber or by all subscribers.
•Transfer Call Billing Report—This report provides information about call transfers from call handlers and subscribers; this information can be used for billing purposes.
•Outcall Billing Report—This report provides information about outgoing calls made by Cisco Unity for message notifications; this information can be used for billing purposes.
System reports:
•Administrative Access Activity Report—This report shows details of all changes entered into the Cisco Unity Administrator; this information can be used as an audit trail of commands entered by system administrators.
•Event Log Report—This report provides information from the Windows application log.
•Port Usage Report—This report shows activity on each port; this information can be used to determine when to add new ports.
•System Configuration Report—This report provides information on system resource allocation.
•Unresolved References Report—This report shows any call handlers that were left in an invalid state when the Cisco Unity Administrator was not used to delete subscriber accounts.
•Call Handler Traffic Report—This report shows how many calls are routed through a particular call handler and how callers are choosing to exit that handler.
•AMIS Out Traffic Report—This report provides information about outbound AMIS calls.
•AMIS In Traffic Report—This report provides information about inbound AMIS calls.
About Report Data
Cisco Unity reports that provide information about subscribers and system activity over a period of time contain log-based data. For example, the Call Handler Traffic report shows how many calls are routed through a particular call handler and how callers are choosing to exit that handler during the time period that you specify. Other Cisco Unity reports offer a "snapshot" of subscriber or system data as it stands at the time you run the report, and therefore they reflect the current status of a particular Cisco Unity entity. For example, the Storage Usage report shows the current storage limits and disk space used for messages by a subscriber or by all subscribers.
Cisco Unity automatically gathers and stores data that is used in log-based reports every 30 minutes. You specify how long Cisco Unity stores the data in the Cleanup Interval for Logger Data Files in Days field on the System > Configuration > Settings page. For example, if you have set this field to three, a log-based report will reflect activity only for the last three days, even if you specified more than three days in the time range for the report.
You should regularly delete the report files that you generate, to avoid accumulating large amounts of data. By default, Cisco Unity deletes report files every seven days. To change how often reports are deleted, adjust the settings for the Cleanup Interval for Report Files in Days field on the System > Configuration > Settings Page.
Generating Reports
When you generate a report, you can specify some or all of the following:
•The subscribers, administrators, or distribution lists to include in the report
•The date and time range to include
•The sort order for the data in the report
You also choose to save the report either as a Web page or as a comma-delimited file:
Web page
|
An HTML file. You use a Web browser to view and to print the report. In some cases, a report may be too large to be viewed in a Web browser.
|
Comma-delimited file
|
A text file (also known as a comma separated or CSV file). Each row in the report appears on a separate line, and values are separated by commas. Select this format if you want to view the information in another application, for example, a spreadsheet program.
|
The best time to generate reports is when the system is not busy: after regular business hours when Cisco Unity is not processing many calls, or when there are no other processes running (for example, before or after a full backup). Note that for large systems, reports that offer a "snapshot" of subscriber or system data may take a significant amount of time to run.
In the current release of Cisco Unity, reports cannot be scheduled in advance, and if you turn off Cisco Unity while there are reports in the report queue, the reports will be deleted.
Viewing and Printing Reports
When a report is ready, Cisco Unity sends an e-mail to the person who generated the report. The e-mail contains a link to the report file. To access the report file, all Cisco Unity administrators must have full read/write access and all Domain Users must have read rights to the CommServer\Reports directory located on the Cisco Unity server (these access levels are set by default). To have read rights, an administrator or user must either be a member of the domain that Cisco Unity is in or be associated with a domain that is trusted by the domain that Cisco Unity is in.
All reports contain a report header followed by columns of data. If, for example, you generate a report for all subscribers, the subscriber name is included above the data associated with the subscriber.
To view a report
Step 1 Click the link in the e-mail message.
Step 2 If the report is in Web page format, the browser will start automatically and display the information. If the report is in comma-delimited format, you may be required to choose an application in which to display the information.
To print a report
Step 1 View the report, as described above.
Step 2 Click Print in the File menu.
To view the status of a report
The ability to view report status is controlled by class of service.
Step 1 Go to http://<server name>/status, or double-click the desktop shortcut to the Status Monitor.
Step 2 Click Reports.

Unresolved References Report
Use the Unresolved References report to locate primary call handlers (those call handlers that are associated with a subscriber account), other call handlers, and interview handlers that are left unresolved because of the improper deletion of a subscriber account. The problem occurs when a subscriber is deleted by using Microsoft Exchange or Windows administrator applications without first deleting the subscriber by using the Cisco Unity Administrator.
The Unresolved References report examines the Cisco Unity information stored in the Exchange directory and reports any problems that it finds. The report identifies the unresolved handler, describes the problem, and suggests a solution.
If the report finds an unresolved primary call handler, you will need to use the Cisco Unity SysCheck utility to remove it. To access the SysCheck utility, go to the directory in which Cisco Unity is installed (the default is C:\CommServer). Then, browse to the SysCheck subdirectory, and run SysCheck.exe.
