Reporting Standard Demo Flow

Introduction

Maintainer: aaron_baldwin@bmc.com

The Reporting demo flow runs daily in both Sandbox and Production, and executes the following reports at New Day:

zzz-report-job-audit - Audit Report that shows logins in the past 7 days
zzz-report-job-mft - File Transfer Report that shows the File Transfers for the previous month
zzz-report-job-sla - SLA Report for the past 7 days
zzz-report-job-workload - Workload Report that shows all Active jobs from the previous day, some details, and their elapsed execution time

There is also a SLA tied to this flow called zzz-reports-sla that has a must complete time of 12:00 UTC.

These reports use the automation-api to execute a restful call to run each of the reports, using a dedicated AI jobtype, and all run from the zzz-aws-linux-1.bmcdemo.com host.

Use Case Overview

This workflow shows the ability of Control-M Reporting, and how reports from the BIRT based system embedded within the product can be orchestrated using the automation api, as well as the ability to define a custom AI jobtype in order to templatize them. Additionally, there is a connection profile for the Reporting Jobtype that allows users to run the reports as a dedicated user via the Control-M system.

Use Case Technical Explanation

The workflows are not time based, but could be - and have an SLA. There are no dependencies between the Reporting Jobs, and they are all combined in one folder, adhering to the site standards.
