Viewing reports

BMC Release Process Management (BRPM) provides reports about your application deployments. Reports help you analyze how your application components are moving across the stages of deployment. Reports give you historical information, such as the total number of requests in the completed or problem state, time taken to complete the requests, a comparative view of the application versions deployed in various environments, and so on.

Starting from BRPM 4.8.00.08, process reports fetch and display the data from the last month by default. You can generate reports by filtering the data in a variety of ways. You can also export this data to a CSV file and save it.

The following table describes the existing types of reports:

Report type

Description

Process reports

Provides information about the total number of requests in the completed, problem, hold, or canceled state for each application for the specified period and matching the filter criteria.
You can also set in-depth data filters to view this information for different applications, environments and processes.

Provides information about the time required to complete the requests for each application during the specified period and matching the filter criteria. This report also provides statistical information, such as the minimum, maximum, median, and average time for requests to be completed.
You can also set in-depth data filters to view this information for different applications, environments and processes.

Provides information about the number of requests in the problem state (that could not be completed successfully) for the specified period. This report also provides information about the users who created these requests.
You can also set in-depth data filters to view this information for different applications, components, environments, request statuses, processes, work tasks, and so on.

Provides information about the time during which a request remained in the problem state for each user who created the request. This report also provides statistical information, such as the minimum, maximum, median, and average time for request steps between reporting (entering the problem state) and actually getting fixed (entering the completed state). This helps you determine how quickly a request in a problem state got fixed.
You can also set in-depth data filters to view this information for different applications, components, environments, request statuses, processes, work tasks, and so on.

Map reports

Provides a comparative tabular view of the component versions of an application deployed in different environments. This report helps you determine the environment for an application component and component version.
Example: component version 3 of Application 1 is in the Production environment and component version 5 of Application 2 is in the Development environment.
It helps you answer such questions as:

  • Which versions of an application component have been deployed?
  • In which environments are the component versions deployed?
  • When were the component versions last deployed (date and time)?

Provides a comparative tabular view of the versions of the specified application components that are deployed in the specified environments. This report also provides historical information about the changes made to the component versions. It gives you a list of different properties defined for the components that are deployed in different environments and tells you what changed in the property values and when the change occurred (date and time).
It helps you answer such questions as:

  • In which environments are the application components deployed?
  • What are the property values for the deployed component?
  • What change occurred in the property values (user name, password, and server name) when the component moved from one environment to another?
  • When did the change occur (date and time)?
  • Which components were used in which release and in which environments were these components deployed?

Provides a tree view of the servers assigned to the applications. It provides data about the servers (physical or virtual) that an application is using. This report provides data about all the applications and assigned servers that are present in the database.
It helps you answer such questions as:

  • Which servers are being used?
  • Which applications are using which servers?

Provides a tree view of the servers assigned to the environments. It provides data about the environments in which the servers are installed. It helps you answer such questions as:

  • Which servers are being used?
  • Which environments are using which servers?
  • Which server level instances are assigned to which environments?

Provides a tree view of the applications and the associated components deployed in environments. It provides data about applications, their associated components, and the environments in which these components are deployed. It helps you answer such questions as:

  • Which application components are being used?
  • Which components are deployed in which environment?
  • Which applications are using which environments?
