IM InfoSphere Identity Insight, Version 8.0

Viewing statistical reports

As it processes data, the system tracks statistical information about performance and data for the incoming data source files that were loaded into the system. This information is summarized for you on two reports: the Data Source Summary report and the Load Summary report.

About this task
The statistics on these reports can help you quickly verify that the system is processing all the incoming data records, make operational decisions about system performance, evaluate the quality of the incoming data, and show the number of new identities, new entities, new relationships, and new alerts resulting from processing the data files.
  1. In the Configuration Console, select Status > Reports.
  2. Required: From the Reportlist, choose a statistical report:
    • Data Source Summary Report - This report provides a quick statistical summary by data source of the records loaded and processed. Use it to see the total number of records loaded by data source file, the total number of new identity records processed by data source file, and the total number of new entities based on the data in this data source file. The Data Source Summary report is sorted by load date, load ID, data source, and data source file.
    • Load Summary Report - This report summarizes statistics and quality characteristics for one or more data sources. Use the report to see load performance information, quality of the data source file, and summaries of the data values used to resolve entities, detect relationships, and generate alerts. This report can help you determine the quality of the data being loaded from a particular data source. Lower quality data can indicate that the data in this data source requires additional cleansing, either before being loaded into the system or during entity resolution by applying specific DQM (data quality management) rules to the data. The Load Summary report is sorted by Load ID.
  3. In the From Date field, enter the starting date for the report using mm/dd/yyyy format. By default, this field contains the current date.

    This field can be left blank, which means that the system reports all data within all other specified criteria beginning with the date the system became operational.

  4. In the Thru Date field, enter the ending date for the report using mm/dd/yyyy format. By default, this field contains the current date.

    This field can be left blank, which means that the system reports all data within all other specified criteria through the current date.

  5. Optional: In Data Source Code, enter a specific data source code to report on. The data source code you enter must exactly match a configured data source code.

    This field can be left blank, which means that the system reports statistics for all data sources within all other specified criteria.

  6. Required: Click Run Report to generate the selected report.
Results
The system generates the selected statistical report based on all specified criteria and displays the report in a separate window.
What to do next
Use the statistical information on this report to help tune the system or data files.
