View a Report on a Browser
This procedure describes how to view a Performance Management report in an
HTML format on a Web browser.
Prerequisites • Make sure you know the World Wide Web location (URL) and the server
where the Performance Management files are located. The person that
installed Performance Management should know this information.
• Your web browser will need a Java applet (plug-in) so that the html file (which
runs the applet) can open a network connection to download data necessary
to display the table or chart. You will be given instructions on how to install this
plug-in during the following procedure.
Procedure To view a report on a browser, do the following:
Note: You may be prompted to get a Java plug-in for your browser during this
process. If necessary, have your system administrator help with getting the
plug-in.
1 Run the report and define its output destination as HTML as described in "Run
a Report" on page 167 and "Define Destination of Report Output" on page
163 . Remember the file name of the report.
2 From your browser, enter the web location (URL) on the server where the
report files reside. If necessary, see your administrator for this information.
3 From the index of reports (see sample screen below), click on the directory
that contains the report you want.
