Synchronizing Report Models

Report Models enables selection and synchronization of one or more business units. This enables any data changes to be reflected in SunSystems reports within Report Designer and Report Manager.

Once the model has been synchronized a report can be produced in Report Manager and the latest configuration changes are reflected in Report Designer.

You can also perform these actions:
  • Configure an analysis slot
  • Change the attributes of an analysis dimension
  • Amend an analysis slot
  • Delete an analysis dimension
  • Clear an analysis slot.

To synchronize Report Models:

Select the business units to be updated and click Synchronize.

Before processing begins the synchronizing process checks these parameters:

  • The status on the business units. Only live business units can be synchronized.
  • Whether a new business unit object configuration is available.
  • The schema version numbers match.
  • The last date amended.

The business units are queued for synchronization.

When the model starts to update the status is changed to Synchronizing.

If the process completes successfully the status is set to Synchronized and the Last Changed Date Time and Last Changed By columns are updated. If the synchronization is not successful the status is set to Failed Synchronization.
