Resolving a Report Parameter Error
After upgrading VCM, if you encounter a problem with a report, your report may not have been
uploaded correctly. This error can occur when reports have been overwritten, rather than removed in
Report Manager. If the parameter values for the report have changed, the changes may not have been
acknowledged by Report Manager when the report was uploaded and overwritten.
Before uploading the report again, you must first remove the existing version. To remove the existing
report, follow the steps below. This procedure will create a new report instance in Report Manager.
1. Open Report Manager on the VCM Collector by entering http://collectorname/Reports.
2. Open the folder where the affected report resides. The VCM Reports labeled ECM Reports, folders are
as follows:
n
ECMAD: Active Directory
n
ECMu: UNIX
n
RSCA: RSCA
n
Service Desk: Service Desk and Change Reconciliation
n
SMS: SMS
n
Standard: Windows reports and Change Management and Compliance
n
SUM: VCM Patching
n
Virtualization: Virtualization
3. Click the Show Details button on the right hand of the screen.
4. Click the check box next to the affected report.
5. Click the Delete option. You will be prompted to be sure that you want to delete this item. Click OK.
6. Click Upload File.
7. On the Upload File screen, next to the File to Upload text box select Browse.

The report now includes all of the new parameter modifications.
