208 CHAPTER 9: REPORTING
If you have more than 500 generated reports stored, 3Com Network
Administrator will display a warning when you launch the Reports dialog.
This is purely informational and will not affect the operation of 3Com
Network Administrator in any way.
When you generate a report, the report history is stored in XML format
on disk. The HTML file produced is a temporary file that is removed once
3Com Network Administrator shuts down. If you wish to view an old
report, you can use the Report History feature to view it. If you wish to
use the HTML report outside of 3Com Network Administrator, generate
the report and select File > Save As from your web browser to save the
report to a location of your choice.
‘Generate Report’ not
Working
Sometimes, when you click Generate Report in the Reports dialog it can
seem as if nothing is happening. This may be because the inventory file is
unusually large and therefore the report is taking a long time to generate.
