HT Report is an HT ISM tool designed to write and execute standard reports. The system allows other HT components to register their report interfaces so that a common reporting structure exists over the entire HT family of products.

HT Report provides two interfaces – a graphical user interface for designing and running reports interactively, and a command line interface for running reports in batch scripts. Resulting reports can be tabular or free format text, tabular HTML, graphic pie charts, or bar charts.

Some useful reports include:

• Nightly summary of all jobs

• Backup success percentage over time periods

• Tapes by location

• Tapes due for return from offsite storage

• File usage based on HT FileStore policy analysis

• Audit trail reports from FileStore or HT Data Repository

• Availability of scratch tapes in various libraries or jukeboxes
