Lawson Security Reports

Lawson Security provides a set of reports to help security administrators view security events and configuration. These reports can be used for auditing and troubleshooting purposes. Following is some high-level information about security reports:

• You use the Lawson Security Administrator to create report definitions. (From the Administrator main menu, select Reports and then select Report Maintenance.)

• All security reports run in background so the security administrator is not tied up during report processing.

• Either HTML, PDF, or CSV output is available. You select output type at runtime.

• The Report Maintenance console lets you view progress of generating reports and manage both definition and output files.

This document makes a distinction between report definitions and generated reports. Report definitions are the queries, or criteria statements, that you create. The queries determine how data will be selected for a report. Generated reports are the actual output.

The sections that follow describe the reports themselves and how to work with the Report Maintenance console.
