Micro Focus File Reporter is priced according to licensed users. A licensed user is anyone that has access rights to storage that is being reported on by Micro Focus File Reporter.
Micro Focus File Reporter requires a production license file or evaluation license file that you can obtain at www.filereportersupport.com. The Micro Focus File Reporter directory type license you select is based on the directory service you use to authenticate to your network. Although Micro Focus File Reporter can concurrently report on storage devices residing in both NetIQ eDirectory™ and Microsoft Active Directory networks, you only authenticate to one directory service or “identity system.”
At the present time, data content analysis and classification is available only on the Microsoft network platform.
Micro Focus File Reporter can report on the contents of network attached storage (NAS) devices in Active Directory networks. Because NAS devices are appliances—and thus are incapable of hosting a Micro Focus File Reporter Agent—Micro Focus File Reporter uses an NFR Agent running on another server to collect scan information from the NAS device. In this type of scenario, the NFR Agent is serving as a proxy agent.
No. But Micro Focus File Reporter can report on the contents of NetWare® servers through a Linux or Windows NFR Agent serving as a proxy agent.
With Micro Focus File Reporter, users can generate aggregate reporting across both Micro Focus (formerly Novell) and Microsoft network infrastructures from a single installation and a single console. Having the File Reporter Engine on Windows was the only way to have the Microsoft interfaces necessary to accomplish this vital goal.
Additionally, Micro Focus File Reporter includes a consumable reporting subsystem that is available only on Windows. By using this subsystem, we were able to deliver this product to market in a much shorter amount of time. The consumable reporting subsystem also allows us to have a product that is highly extensible and well-tested immediately. As this subsystem is enhanced, Micro Focus File Reporter customers will reap the benefits.
Yes. You can choose to utilize either a PostgreSQL database or a Microsoft SQL Server.
Certainly. That's why we introduced the ability to generate Custom Query reports that let you query the database using specific SQL commands. Each SQL command in the query filters the report content so that you pinpoint and include the exact information you need.
Additionally, the Report Designer lets you present the Custom Query report exactly how you want it to appear.
