You can use any valid reporting tool with the reporting database and you have the flexibility to design your own ad-hoc reports.
Default Reporting Schedule Editor
The Default Reporting Schedule editor is used to configure a connection with your reporting database, and to configure the synchronization schedule between the production and reporting databases. Synchronizing the two databases allows you to run up-to-date reports on your data.

Manually synchronize databases

Before you begin

You must configure your reporting database before you can synchronize it with your production database.

Note: You cannot synchronize your databases manually if there are unsaved changes to the Reporting Schedule Editor.

Procedure

From the navigator, click Proficy System > Proficy System > Reporting > Default Reporting Schedule.
In the Show Compatible panel, click Reporting Schedule Editor. The Default Reporting Schedule editor appears in the Workspace.
In the Manual Synchronization area, click Synchronize NOW.
If manual synchronization starts, the Feedback Zone displays a status message that manual synchronization has started. If manual synchronization fails, the Feedback Zone displays an error message.
Note: The Feedback Zone does not indicate whether manual synchronization is successful. You can use the reporting database auditing tables to determine that status of a data synchronization.
