In large setups, with a large number of gateways, route groups, route lists, and route patterns, enabling all the Utilization reports (Gateway Utilization, Line Group Utilization, Route Group Utilization, Route List Utilization, and Route Pattern Utilization) increases the CPU usage of the system, therefore increasing the time in which reports are generated. This also affects system performance. Cisco recommends that you enable only Gateway Utilization reports for automatic generation, due to the number of gateways that are typically found in a large system. You can generate all Utilization reports on demand by selecting five or less gateways, route groups, route lists, or route groups. Note Automatically generating reports involves a two-step process: • First, enable the reports that you want to generate unless they are enabled by default. • Second, schedule the reports for the day and time that you want them to generate. (CAR provides a default schedule. If the default schedule is acceptable, only enable the reports that you want to generate automatically.) CAR provides e-mail alerts for various events. Enabling the system for e-mail alerts involves a two-step process: • First, enable the e-mail alerts. Default enables some, but not all, reports. • Second, configure the e-mail that is sent when the alert criteria are met. Enable Automatic Generation Reports This section describes how to enable or disable one or all reports for automatic generation. You can also customize the report parameters and enable a mailing option, so reports get emaileded when they are created. When the report gets mailed, CAR generates the email address by using the mail ID for the CAR administrator(s) and the mail domain that is configured in the Mail Parameters window; that is, CAR uses <mail ID for the CAR administrator> @ <domain that is configured in the mail parameters window>. For all new installations of Unified Communications Manager, you must first enable the email alerts and reports for automatic generation. The default status for all reports and alerts specifies Disabled. For all Unified Communications Manager upgrades from Release 5.x to a later release of Unified Communications Manager, the tbl_pregenmail_option table data migrates only if the CAR Scheduler service is active. When you upgrade to another version of Unified Communications Manager, disable all reports and alerts while the upgrade is in process to conserve system resources. Remember to enable the reports and alerts after the upgrade completes. The Generated Report Schedule, on page 12 describes reports that are enabled by default. Procedure Step 1 Choose Report Config > Automatic Generation/Alert. The Automatic Report Generation/Alert Option window displays.
