Summary

In this chapter, we've demonstrated how to:

• Enable custom reports in the Parallels RAS Console.

• Create a report using the SQL Server Report Builder.

• Use a simple query to retrieve data from the Parallels RAS reporting database.

• Design the report and save it in the database.

• Run the report in the Parallels RAS Console.

The above covers the essentials of the Parallels RAS reporting functionality, so you can start creating your own reports at any time.

In the next section, we'll create a more advanced sample report that uses charts, expressions, and other features of Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder.
