    The ARACTNS view shows the current history record for the most recent time interval. The ARACTNS view shows historical information organized by event type.

    See ARACTNS view: in color for a color version of the ARACTNS view. In the following figure, the picture shows only through column Alerts Alt.

GUID-ECAF4378-D17D-48C7-9DB1-DB791DC55F04-low.png

In Automation Reporter: ARACTNS view and ARACTNS view: in color, the Event Count column shows how many events have occurred during the current interval and the Handled Count column shows whether the event was handled by automation. With this view, you can easily see how well your Rules are handling events and what actions the Rules are taking.

Additional columns in the ARACTNS view show how often the events were suppressed, if ALERTs or EXECs were issued, and the number of hardcopy messages that were suppressed.

You might have to scroll right to see columns not shown by placing the cursor under the name of any event type in the Evnt Type column and pressing Enter, you can see a list of all intervals included in the summarized view for the event type.

  1. To display a view of resources used by the BBI-SS PAS, place the cursor on the Resources menu item under the History heading and press Enter.This displays the ARRES view.

  3. See the table in List-of-windows-mode-Automation-Reporter-views for a list of other Automation Reporter views that you can access.

    Tip

    To see additional information on some views, you must scroll the display with the LEFT and RIGHT function keys.

    For more information about any field in a view, place the cursor in the heading of the field and press the Help (F1) key.
