To configure the SCA reporter, create a basic configuration for the SCA reporter. This procedure includes selecting a database type, connecting to a database, activating the database, and setting the IP address of the Service Control Engine (SCE) platform whose service configuration data is to be used.
In bundled mode, the Cisco Service Control Management Suite (SCMS) Collection Manager (CM) is used with the Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise (Sybase ASE). The Sybase data management platform supports transaction-intensive enterprise applications. It enables you to store and retrieve information online and can warehouse information as needed. (For more information, see Cisco Service Control Management Suite Collection Manager User Guide.) The CM can also be configured to work with Oracle and MySQL databases.
After a database is activated, select the IP address of one of the SCE platforms in tThe database. The choice is made for each repository, represented by a tab in the Preferences (Filtered) window. The service configuration applied to the configured SCE platform determines all options offered in the Templates view of the SCA Reporter (available packages, services). Each report is generated according to the SCE device to which it is configured. In the example configuration, there is one SCE device connected to the database and one repository preference.
