The following table describes the fields that might appear on the Selection tab (depending on the report you want to generate):
Field Name |
Description |
Report Filter Specifications. Use the options in this section to fine-tune the generation of the report. |
|
Profile |
Use this box allows you to pick what Profile to use when generating the report. If you just want to use the supplied default Profile, then leave the field as is and generate the report. However, if you want to use a customized Profile that you have set up for this reporting, choose that Profile from the drop-down list. Keep in mind that Profiles control what statistics are gathered and also what files are included in that statistical analysis. |
Return maximum of __ rows per computer |
Use this field to control how many rows are generated in the report. This will allow you to control the size of the report that is generated. For example, in the Usage > All DBMSs > Tables > Largest Tables > By Instance report, you can enter 10 in the Return maximum of __ rows per <object> field and to limit the number of rows in the report to only 10 tables per Instance. If you have set up scans to collect many more rows than that per Instance, this is an effective and efficient way to control the size of the generated report. |
