Enhancements to the Operations Center reporting

The company is building executive reports using Spectrum Protect Operations Center. They have over 6000 nodes doing backups in 19 Spectrum Protect servers and management would like to have a view of some statistics for the whole environment. Today, using the customized reports with selects, customers are able to run the reports, however with outputs separated by server. They need then to export it to a spreadsheet, sum them up and create their consolidated reporting views that would even include graphs. This is not only time consuming but also dependent on manual operations that can lead to errors. It would be nice if when selecting several servers for a report, one could also select a consolidated view.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    Any report that is run against more than 1 SP server, for instance, list of nodes and its last backup success date - the report by server looks good but the client needs to have a consolidated view without having to export to a spreadsheet.

    For instance:
    ServerA
    Node Date
    Node xxx 01/10/2019
    Node yyy 01/11/2019
    ...
    ServerB
    Node aaa 01/10/2019
    Node bbb 01/11/2019

    The ideal report would bring:
    Server. Node date
    ServerA nodexxx 01/10/2019
    ServerB nodeaaa 01/10/2019
    ServerA nodeyyy 01/11/2019
    ServerB nodebbb 01/11/2019

    All reports having a consolidated view. This is just a simple example.
    Just like the dashboard brings a consolidated view of the nodes, it would be nice to have this possible when doing the customized reports
