or exceed 80 characters in length.

The format in which you want to view the report, from the File Type list.
The following are the supported file formats: HTML, PDF, and RTF.
The HTML format is the default file type for any report that you generate, and is always
provided in a compressed file (.zip) format as an email attachment. However, if you select
a PDF or RTF file type, you can choose to receive a normal report file or a compressed file
as the email attachment. If you have saved the report in XP Performance Advisor or scheduled
the report generation, the corresponding record for the report is also displayed on the View
Created/Scheduled Reports screen. You can further select the report that you want to view.
By default, the SMTP_Rpt_Compress is set to TRUE in the serverparameters.proper-
ties file. Any PDF or DOC file type that you generate for a report is attached as a compressed
file in the email notification sent by XP Performance Advisor.
To receive a normal (uncompressed) report as an email attachment, set the
SMTP_Rpt_Compress to FALSE in the serverparameters.properties file. Then, restart
the HP StorageWorks XP Performance Advisor Tomcat service on your management station.
Any PDF or DOC file type that you generate for a report is provided as a normal file attachment
in the email notification sent by XP Performance Advisor.
