View reports
Use the "View reports" panel to examine details on update, backup and
restore tasks that have previously been performed against the same service
instance. In particular, this panel helps you to find out:
- The results of a simulated update task. A simulation report
contains a description of the configuration changes that the corresponding
update task would make to your system. For a simulation that failed, it
contains information on what caused the simulation to fail. Use this
information to resolve any problem, before you attempt run the corresponding
task in real mode.
- The results of a failed task contains information on what caused the task
to fail. Use this information to resolve any problem, before you rerun
the task.
You can display reports from the Jobs list, the
job notification panel, and the "Update
center" or "Undo updates center".
If you open the "View reports" panel for sysplex-wide services
from the"Update center" or "Undo updates center", the list of
reports may contain reports from system level configurations that had an
impact on sysplex-wide services.
