Generating Reports
There are three report templates stored in the same location where you have installed the Dell Warranty utility.
ActiveSystem.rdl, AllSystems.rdl, and SystemsWithWarranty.rdl. These reports have the following placeholders
for the database connection string:
<!--PROVIDER-->, <!--CONNECTION_STRING-->, and <!--INTEGRATED_SECURITY-->.
NOTE: The templates are in rdl (Report Definition Language) format. To view or edit the file on systems running Windows
2008 R2 server install Microsoft Report Viewer.
NOTE: The SRS Templates generated by the Dell Warranty Module are compatible with the Reportbuilder v2.0 or
greater.
You can use the generate_srs_templates command to generate the report definition files using the report templates. The
placeholders are substituted with the database connection string specified by you either in the registry or the configuration file.
To run the report:
● Using the configuration settings saved to the registry, enter the following command: Dell.WarrantyInfo.exe
generate_srs_templates.
● Using the configuration settings saved to a file, enter the following command: Dell.WarrantyInfo.exe
generate_srs_templates config_file=<name of the file>.
You can view these reports using the reporting services of the Configuration Manager or using the Report Builder services. For
more information, see Reporting Services of the Configuration Manager.
