forced to navigate month by month.
Start and end dates required for the Backup Sessions report when using the relative date
range (IEV-25989)
In order to run the Backup Sessions report by using the relative date range, you must provide
dummy start and end dates; otherwise, the Run Query button is disabled.
Top N Reports in SRM Report Optimizer does not work the same way as in Storage
Essentials (IEV-27081, IEV-27101)
In SRM Report Optimizer and in Storage Essentials, customers can use a filter called Top N
Reports; however, this filter works differently in each product:
• In Storage Essentials: The number of records displayed is based on the "N" value.
For example: If you select N=10, the total number of records displayed is always less than
or equal to 10 based on the number of files in that report criteria.
• In SRM Report Optimizer: The number of records displayed is based on rank and not
the "N" value.
If you select N=10, the total number of records displayed can vary from zero to many,
based on the number of files present in a particular rank. For example: Assume you have
four files of the following sizes: 5 GB, 2 GB, 2 GB, and 1 GB. The four files would be ranked
as 1, 2, 2, and 4. The 5-GB file, which is the largest file in the group, is given the ranking of
one, the two 2-GB files are given the ranking of two, and the 1-GB file is ranked last.
