You can configure remote CommServe computers and third-party databases as data sources for a single report using the Web Console. You can set the data sources for a particular report that you created or a report that you downloaded from the Commvault Store.
Before You Begin
-
To add a data source, your CommCell user account requires a role with the Add Datasource permission and an association with the CommCell entity.
The Delete Datasource, Edit Datasource, and Query Datasource permissions are automatically assigned when you add a data source.
For more information on users, permissions, and associations, see User Administration and Security - Overview.
-
If the Private Metrics Reporting Server cannot connect to the CommServe computer, or if you have a firewall between the remote CommServe computer and the Private Metrics Reporting Server, then you must establish a connection using the CommCell Console. For instructions, see Configuring CommServes as Data Sources on CommCell Console.
