WebSphere brand IBM WebSphere Premises Server, Version 6.1.x

Viewing tag read reports

Use the WebSphere® Premises Server Administrative Console to view tag read and aggregated tag read events that have registered in your WebSphere Premises Server network.

Before you begin

By setting parameters in the SystemAgent, you can determine whether your tags persist to a database or to an EPCIS, and you can determine the type of events persisted, such as tag reads or aggregated tag reads. For details on how to do this, see Managing persistence.

To determine the current status of the persistence parameter, view the SystemAgent configuration in the WebSphere Premises Server Administrative Console by navigating to Agent Configuration > SystemAgent > com.ibm.premises.SystemAgent .

About this task
WebSphere Premises Server uses Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT), an Eclipse-based open source reporting system, to run and display the tag read reports within the WebSphere Premises Server Administrative Console.

The reports you run are stored in a location that is defined by the com.ibm.premises.report.location parameter in the SystemAgent. Modify the value of this parameter if you would like your reports stored in a location other than the default directory. Remember to use only US English ASCII characters in directory paths.

Note: If you do change the value of this property, the files and folders in the installed reports must also be moved. Otherwise, the standard RFID tag read event reports will not be found.

The default location of stored reports is:

Procedure
  1. Open the WebSphere Premises Server Administrative Console. The Welcome page displays.
  2. Under Reporting, click RFID Tag Read Events in the left navigation pane. The RFID Tag Read Events panel displays filter fields for you to search your tags.
  3. Enter filter criteria and click Search to display tag read events matching your criteria.

    When the report displays, you can perform these actions:

    • Click an event ID to display the report containing detailed information about the event.
    • Click a tag ID to display the report containing detailed information about the RFID tag. This option is available from either the main RFID Tag Read Events report, or from the RFID Tag Read Event Details report.
    • ClickShow XML in the RFID Tag Read Event Details panel to display the report containing complete event XML.

    Refer to Available actions after searching for more details on what you can do with your generated reports.
