Hi, all.
I am doing some proof of concept on the reporting for IDM 7.2 SP8. I would like to have your input as I ran into a lot of problems:
1) Are we supposed to still use Jasper reports in IDM 7.2 SP8? The doc seems to be only for IDM 7.0 and 7.1.
2) How about crystal reports? But I don't see there is any out of the box Crystal reports like Jasper
3) I have installed the IDM BW contents. The ODS and infoobjects are populated with IDM data. However, I noticed the quality of those vanilla BW contents are very bad and there are 2 major issues I saw:
- Firstly, there is no BW content for approval reporting, only priviledge and role assignments. This is not going to impress anyone as the privilege and role assignment can be directly retrieved from the target systems.
- Secondly, the reporting is not hierarchical. That means, only direct assignement for a role/priviledge against a person is reported. I am still trying to go through the data in ODS object 0IDM_ENAT and the transformations to see if the hierarchy data has actually been captured in the extraction process. Not only that, if you run a report for a person/privilege relation, only the direct assignement of the privilege will show. The privilege from the role is NOT shown. That makes the out of the box infosets not usable and I have to customize my own BW infosets/infoobjects.
4) For the history tab on "management tasks" and "approvals", I can only see my own tasks. Is there a way to configure it so that I can see other people tasks? If that works, maybe we don't need the IDM reporting as it is rather disappointing so far. Also, on the approval history tab, I don't see any detail about the approval task like the below. Do you know how to show more detail?
Can you please share your experience on the IDM reporting?
Thanks,
Jonathan.
