Scheduling reports

You can schedule license usage reports to run at various intervals, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.  The Schedule Reports tab displays the deployments that have been set up on the Manage Deployment tab.  The Last Run/Schedule Details of Selected Deployment section displays the details for the scheduled reports. 

If the scheduler service is running, it will gather license information for the deployments at their scheduled time. When a new deployment is scheduled for the first time, the following columns in the Last Run/Schedule Details of Selected Deployment section are blank: Last Run Time, Start Date Used and End Date Used. After the scheduled reports are executed, this section is updated with the real-time status for all fields. The scheduler.xml file is also updated. (The file is located in the following directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\BMC Software\LicenseUsageCollector\licenseusagecollector\user\repository.)
