Performance Report Management (2)
Method of Storing Aggregation Data
Time dimension
Object dimension
The results of objects can be aggregated from a small time granularity to a large time
granularity in the following ways: raw period hour, hour day, day week, day month
The results can be aggregated by object dimension from a low level to a high level, for
example, from cell to BSC, or from cell to cell group.
Data aggregation is performed by object dimension and then by time

dimension in sequence.
After data is aggregated by both time dimension and object dimension,

the aggregated data is displayed in a two-dimensional cross table
(involving object and time dimensions), and the data aggregated by each
dimension is stored.

Viewing/Editing Performance Report Attributes (2)
A custom simple report can be displayed as a chart. Multiple

KPIs and multiple legends can be displayed in one chart.
You can set multiple charts to be displayed in a report.

Setting Correlated Performance Reports
Function: You can set

correlation query between
two simple reports of the
same object type or of
different object types that
have aggregation relations.
When you query the
correlated report, the query
conditions are identical with
those of the original report.
The correlated
report is also
a simple
report.

Setting User Permission for a Performance Report
Function: The PRS supports

the function of assigning the
operation permission of a
performance report. The
members in the
Administrators user group or
the user who creates a
report can assign the
operation permission of a
performance report to other
users such as viewing,
modifying, deleting,
drilldown/drillup, correlating,
and scheduled task
management permission.

Setting the Correlation Between a Report and an
Excel Template
Function
The PRS supports the function of setting a correlated Excel template

for a performance report. After the setting is successful, the manually
saved or periodically generated performance report is saved in the
format of the correlated Excel template. Thus, you can customize the
display mode of the report result as required by query.

with an Excel template
The default Excel template is generated on the
basis of the subreport types of a report. Each
subreport corresponds to a tab page.

Importing and Exporting Reports (1)
Function
The PRS can import or export reports in batches, thus facilitating the
sending of report definition information.
The following report attributes can be exported: basic information

(including the vendor, NE type, object type, and description), KPIs,
filtering conditions, chart information, object dimension, time condition,
and object display attributes.
Report export: The PRS exports the specified report information and
relevant information (such as KPIs) to an .xml file according to a
certain format.
Report import: The PRS parses the exported report files, and then
creates the reports defined in the report files.

Importing and Exporting Reports (2)

Managing Custom Performance Reports
Function
Customizing reports is designed to solve the problem that the default

performance reports cannot meet users' requirements. With this function, you
can create the required performance report on the PRS client so that it can be
repeatedly used to query performance data.
Comprises one or multiple subreports. The NE type and object

type are unique.
Combined
report
Comprises one or more simple reports that can be of different

NE types and object types.
DB-based

Correlation Query
You can set correlation query between two simple reports of the
same object type or of different object types but the aggregation
relation exists. When you query the related report, the query
conditions are identical with those of the original report.
The PRS provides the

correlated reports that have
the correlation on services or
have the aggregation relation.
You can query the correlated
reports as required.

Drillup/Drilldown
After a performance report is

generated, you can perform
further query on the report by
time dimension and object
dimension, for example, to drill
up through the hourly report
based on the daily report or to
drill up through the cell report
based on the BSC report. This
helps you thoroughly analyze
the report contents and locate
problems.

Displaying by Condition
After the display condition of

a performance report is set,
the counter data that meets
the condition is highlighted
in the foreground and
background colors.
Abnormal data is highlighted
through proper setting of
display condition.
Scheduled Report Management (1)
Function
Scheduled generation of a report enables the system to periodically and

automatically generate the report results and save them. The report distribution
system can send the report to a specified email address or FTP server.
Benefits
A report file can be generated on schedule according to the preset time and
period. After the setting, you need not pay attention to the process for
generating the report. The file generated on schedule can be sent to the preset
email address or FTP server. Without using the client, you can obtain the
report data by receiving emails or viewing the file on the FTP server.
Generation and Distribution of Scheduled

Reports
A file is generated on schedule and
sent to a specified email address
or FTP server.
