Creating a report of simulation results

You can save the results of a simulation as a report. For example, you can generate a web report that lists all of the services that are impacted if a server were to be taken offline. If needed, you can then export the report in different formats.

If you create a web report, you can export it to Microsoft Excel or PowerPoint formats. If you create an AR System report, you can export it to CSV or XML formats.

You can search for a CI using the Impact Simulator and then simulate and assign and a weight to the impact. For example, the impact of the change could be a minor one; so the service may not be completely unavailable, or in an extreme situation, the service could be completely unavailable, thereby simulating a complete outage. Impact Simulator propagates the change right up to the top of the service model, which allows you to relate the CI to the change and see which services (IT or Business) could be impacted. Impact weights allow a change manager to quickly look at the proposed impact.


To create a report of simulation results

  1. Create a new simulation or load a saved simulation.
  2. Select the simulation in the Results in Table tab.
  3. Click Report.
  4. On the Report Console, click the ➕️ icon to create a new report, or select the report that you want to run.
    Click New to create a web or AR System report.
    You may need to click Refresh after you create a new report to view it in the list of available reports.
  5. Click Run.
    The report is generated to the destination you selected, such as screen, or printer in the format that you selected.
