reports.

Overview
Overview
You can generate the following types of reports with the C•CURE 800/8000:
 Configuration reports - contain information about the various security
objects (such as input, output, and holiday activity)
 Personnel reports - contain information about personnel and user
records including time and attendance
 User privilege reports - contain information about system users and
their privileges
 Miscellaneous reports - do not fall into any of the basic report
categories, but help you obtain basic system information
 Roll call reports - provide a list of all personnel that the system
determines to be in a user-specified area and are used for emergency
evacuations of buildings
 User-defined reports - let you create your own customized report
definitions
 C•CURE Central reports - contain information about C•CURE Central,
the browser-based central card administration system, and are available
if the C•CURE 800/8000 is a part of a C•CURE Central network.
This chapter describes reporting basics, such as using the Report Generation
dialog box and printing and saving a report. It also describes all the report
types listed above.
In a partitioned system, all reports respect the configured partitions. You can
run reports only on partitioned objects in your own partition and shared
partitions, unless you are a partition administrator. Partition Administrators
can run reports on objects in any partition(s) that they administer.
Example:
Neither Alicia nor Eduardo are partition administrators. If Alicia runs a
door report, her report shows doors only for her partition and shared
partitions. If Ed, who is in a different partition, runs a door report, his
report shows doors from his partition, which are different from Alicia’s
doors, and doors from shared partitions, which are the same for both Ed
and Alicia. See the C•CURE 800/8000 Software Configuration Guide for
more information.
1–2 C•CURE 800/8000 Reports Guide

NOTE If you have the C•CURE 800/8000 Asset Manager option installed, you
can generate asset reports.
The system also gives you the capability to generate the following:
 Journal Reports - contain activity information about the system, and/or
audit information about the C•CURE 800/8000 database, or activity
incident reports for Incident IDs for particular incident groups or
events—all described in Chapter 2.
 Enhanced reports - include both predefined and customized Crystal
Reports®, described in Chapter 3.
Using the Report Generation Dialog Box
Using the Report Generation Dialog Box

To generate any types of reports, use the Report Generation dialog box
Figure 1-2 on page 1-7.
To Access the Report Generation Dialog Box
1. Select Reports from the C•CURE 800/8000 Administration application

menu bar and then choose the appropriate command for the report that
you want to generate.
Figure 1-1: C•CURE 800/8000 Administration Application Reports Menu
2. You can report on a variety of security objects—both hardware and

software, on personnel, on user privilege, on miscellaneous items, and
on the historical journal.

Using Wildcard Search
The browsers and many of the dialog boxes contain a Wildcard search. A
Wildcard search can be used to search for personnel records and for object
names.
Enter the characters in the appropriate field(s) and use a Wildcard character
(*) to represent one more undefined characters in the character search string.
NOTE Wildcard searches work in character type fields only, they do not work in
integer type fields.
You can use up to ten Wildcard characters (*) in a search string.
NOTE In partitioned systems, the search function only searches the selected
partition.
Search Examples
Selection Browser
1. In the application menu bar: choose
Hardware>apC. The apC Selection browser opens.
2. In the Search box, enter off*bui*1
3. Click Search....
The Object List field shows results such as:
• officebuilding1
• officebuilding12
• officebuilding212
Using Wildcard Search
The search box has a default value of "*".
apC Groups
In a list of apC groups:
 Type p* to find all apC groups with names beginning with "p".
 Type *p to find all apC groups with names that end with "p".
 Type *p* to find all apC groups with "p" anywhere in their name.
Personnel Query
In the application menu bar:
1. Choose Personnel > Personnel Query.

The Personnel Query dialog box opens.
2. In the Last Name: field, enter Sm*
3. In the Customer tab, <Text1>; field (e.g. assume Text1 field is user-
renamed “Country”), enter *land
4. Click Do Query.
The Personnel Query browser dialog box opens, and the Result list box
shows results such as:
Table 1-1:
Name Card Country

Smith, John D. 012345 England
Smothers, Bonnie 345678 Scotland
Period
The search string for any period should include two ~~ in front. For example,
to search for *..* you need to input the following string: *~~.~~.*

Viewing and Displaying Report Results in Microsoft Excel
When you select the Display in Excel check box in the Report Generation
dialog box (see Figure 1-2) and click Run Report, the results are displayed in
Microsoft® Excel® . If you do not select the Display in Excel check box, results
are displayed in text format.
NOTE You must have Microsoft Excel installed on your system to view reports in
Excel.
NOTE This section does not include displaying Journey Replay results to
Microsoft Excel. See “Viewing and Displaying Journal Replay Report
Results in Microsoft Excel” on page 2-46.
Figure 1-2: Report Generation Dialog Box

Viewing and Displaying Report Results in Microsoft Excel
Excel Spreadsheet Limitations

The maximum numbers of rows per Excel worksheet is 262,144. If report is
longer than 262,144 rows (for example the Personnel Report can be very
large) a warning message appears and the first 262,144 rows are displayed.
In this event, you have the option to narrow query results or display larger
reports in text format.
If a capacity of the Excel control exceeds the capacity of a single sheet in the
installed Excel version, then you will be able to export a limited number of
rows.
Example
A single sheet in 2003 Excel can hold about 65,000 rows, so only
first 65,000 rows would be exported.
The Display in Excel option is not available for user-defined reports, Crystal
reports and the Roll Call report.
To avoid unexpected re-formatting cells, all data is stored in cells as text. The
(’) character will be added in front of each cell value, that character will not be
visible in cells. Numbers that are formatted as text are left-aligned instead of
right-aligned in the cell. With error checking turned on, they are also marked
with an error indicator. You are able to convert them to numbers in one cell
(or range of cells) at a time before performing sorting or calculations.

C•CURE 800/8000 Standard Reports
User-configurable Excel spread sheet report results display only one
worksheet per C•CURE 800/8000 report. If a user-configurable report has
“inner loops,” then all the loop fields are displayed as separate columns in the
Excel spread sheet. An inner loop field indicates a field with dependant
objects.
Example
Dependent (child) objects that are managed under iSTAR and apC
controllers include inputs, outputs, readers, boards, elevators, floors and
doors. Controllers are parent objects to these and are created first. When a
report includes fields which are dependant objects, these fields are
combined and nested within the parent object’s records.
The standard reports available in C•CURE 800/8000 are listed by type in

Table 1-2.

reports.
Figure 1-15: Personnel Query for Reports Dialog Box
The personnel view that you have configured determines the layout of the
NOTE
Personnel Query dialog box. In the personnel view shown in Figure 1-15,
the Cards tab has been configured with Activation and Expiration Date
From/To fields added. This view allows a query that includes cards with
activation or expiration dates between 02/21/06 at 11:02 and 06/21/06 at
11:36. The default $System Person View includes only a single activation
and expiration date on the General tab and does not include a Cards tab.
If you are using another view or are using a partitioned system, your
Personnel Query dialog box may look different. See “Configuring
Personnel Views” in the C•CURE 800/8000 Personnel Configuration Guide
for more information about configuring personnel views.
6. Specify search criteria for the query by following these guidelines:

• To run a faster query, query on indexed fields; otherwise your query
may be slow if you have a large personnel record database. The
following fields are indexed: Person ID, Person EUID, Card Number,
CHUID, Extended Card, First Name, Last Name, Agency Code,
PIN- Only Access, certain user-named text and integer fields (such as
Int1, Int2, Int6, and Int7 or Text1, Text2, Text6, and Text7).
• Only enter values in the fields on which you want to search. Leave all
other fields set to ? (question mark).
Example:
To find only personnel whose cards have an issue code of 2, enter 2
in the Issue Code field.
• You can also enter partial data in a field.
Example:
You can enter part of a last name to find all personnel whose last
name begins with those characters. When you use this method, you
must insert an asterisk (*) wildcard character at the end of the data
string.
Example:
If you enter Sar*, the system searches for all names beginning with
Sar, such as Saroyan, Sarton, and Sartre.
• You can enter as little or as much information as you want on this
dialog box. The system retrieves only the records that match all of
your search criteria. The more information you enter, the more
selective your query.
• If you do not enter anything, the system retrieves all records in the
Personnel data table.
• For check boxes, click to select one of the following search options:
Restrict your search to personnel records for which the option is
selected.
Restrict your search to personnel records for which the option is not
selected.
Do not restrict your search based on the option.

• You cannot query on PINs.
• You can include only one clearance code in your query to find all
records with that clearance.
7. Select one of the following query options:
• Existing Records to query existing records only.
• Deleted Records to query deleted records only.
• All Records to query both existing and deleted records.
8. Click Do Query to run the query.

- or -
Click Clear Screen to remove information from the Personnel Query
dialog box and specify new search criteria.
NOTE If no records are found by the query, the system displays a message.
NOTE If your system is partitioned, query results are restricted to personnel

records in your own partition and in any shared partitions. Partition
administrators can view query results for all personnel in any partition(s)
that they administer. If you have set the system option for partitioning
with global clearance assignment, see “Defining Personnel Options” in the
C•CURE 800/8000 System Maintenance Guide for information.
When you run the query, the Personnel Query in Progress dialog box
opens, as shown Figure 1-16.
Figure 1-16: Personnel Query in Progress Dialog Box
This dialog box displays the number of personnel records being retrieved
by the query. If your personnel database is very large and the query is
taking too long, you can cancel it by clicking the Stop Query button.
When the system either finishes retrieving records or stops the query, the
Report Generation for Personnel dialog box reappears with the Run
Report button available. This dialog box displays the query results in the
Records selected field: the total number of personnel records found in
the database that met your criteria (including the criteria you entered in
the Restricted by Group and/or With allowed access by Door/Door
Group fields) or the number of records found before you clicked Stop
Query.
NOTE
If you are running a query on a Wide Area Network (WAN) and you use
the Stop Query option, you will essentially cancel the query, as data
retrieval over a WAN uses the creation of temporary data tables on your
client-side server to avoid latency caused by data transmission through
routers and other network components. The Stop Query command
eliminates such tables. The use of Stop Query is practicable for partial
data retrieval when running a query on a Local Area Network (LAN). The
system shows results obtained by the time that you clicked the Stop
Query button.
9. Make sure the report you want is highlighted and click Run Report. The
View Report dialog box appears from which you can print or save the
report or open it in another application. Figure 1-17 displays a report
example that lists all personnel who are allowed access to a selected door.

Roll Call Reports
Roll Call Reports

The roll call report allows you to print out, or display on a client Monitoring
Station, a list of all personnel the system determines to be in a specified area or
area group. This report is intended to assist in the emergency evacuations of
buildings and can be initiated in three different ways:
 By an Administration Application user
 By a Monitoring Station user
 By an event
The roll call report gives a view of where personnel are located at the time the
report is started. It takes 15 to 60 seconds after the report is initiated to
upload all the personnel information; personnel movement which occurs
after the upload is not included in the report.
NOTE The system determines the last door accessed by each cardholder by
sorting accesses by the local time that they occurred. Accesses recently
received from a dialup apC panel/iSTAR controller that actually occurred
several days ago are considered older than accesses that occurred today.
The area group supports roll call: an area group can contain one or more
areas. Area groups are created and edited in the same manner as all other
groups. See “Putting Security Objects into Groups” in the C•CURE 800/8000
Software Configuration Guide for more information. An area may be assigned to
several area groups; the areas assigned to an area group may also span
multiple apCs or iSTAR controllers.
The C•CURE 800/8000 tracks the current location, or area, of each

cardholder as he or she moves through doors controlled by access readers.
The tracking of personnel movement is independent of the anti-passback
restrictions of an area. Therefore, anti-passback does not have to be enforced
in order for roll call and area groups to be used, but any areas used in roll call
reports must have access control readers in them.

Configuring Roll Call Reports from the Administration Application
The Report Generation for Roll Call dialog box lets you create, edit, delete,
and run roll call reports. The roll call report differs from the other reports
described in this chapter in the following ways:
 You can only view the report online on the Monitoring Station.
 On the Edit Roll Call Report dialog box, you must specify the area or
area group for which the report is being run.
NOTE Roll Call reports may look unformatted if:

 More than 10 clearances are selected
 Clearance names are too long
To Work with Roll Call Reports

Running Roll Call Reports for Selected Personnel

You can run a roll call report that prints a list only of specified personnel
within an area rather than all the personnel in that particular area.
Example:
You might need a report that lists all the fire wardens in a building and
the floor for which each is responsible.
To Generate a Roll Call Report for Selected Personnel
1. Open the Diag System Utility, shown in Figure 1-30 on page 1-59, from
the Windows desktop as follows: click Start, point to Programs, point to
the C•CURE 800/8000 System Diagnostics icon, and click the Diag
System icon.

Overview
Overview
C•CURE 800/8000 tracks the following types of information:
 Activity occurring in the system and monitored by the system—accesses,
rejects, event activations, and input/output state changes. This
information is known as the activity log.
• C•CURE 800/8000 can also track Incident IDs in either of the
following ways:
– By incident groups – these include inputs and/or events and permit
you to track input state changes, event activations, and any related
messages by a specific Incident ID tag.
– By event – a unique Incident ID tag allows you to track a series of
event activities.
 Changes made to the C•CURE 800/8000 database by the
Administration application—additions, modifications, or deletions of
security objects and personnel records. This information is known as the
audit log.
 Intrusion Zones in Maintenance Mode activity.
The information is stored in database files known collectively as journal

databases.
As activity occurs in the system, it is recorded or written to the journal

database. As users make changes to security objects and personnel records in
the C•CURE 800/8000 database, these changes are also written to the
journal database. The journal, therefore, contains a record of all the activity
the system monitors and all the database configuration changes. The journal
consists of the current database (which contains current activity and audits)
and older database (which contain all past activity and audits).
You can generate journal reports containing either activity or audit

information, or both. A journal report for the activity log can tell you who
accessed a particular door during a given time span. A journal report for the
audit log can tell you that a particular door configuration in the database was
modified, how (which fields), when, and by whom.
You can also generate journal incident reports that filter the activity log for
Incident IDs only—either those associated with incident groups (including
inputs and/or events) or those that pertain only to an event and its related
activities.
How the C•CURE 800/8000 Changes to a New Journal
As the journal gets larger, it can take up a lot of disk space and take a long
time to back up. For this reason, the system changes to a new journal file
based on the values for the SwitchTime and MaximumRecords parameters
in the CCURE.INI file, accessed through the Diag System Utility. For
information on changing these parameters, see the C•CURE 800/8000
Troubleshooting Guide.
By default, the system will switch to a new journal file when both the
following are true:
 The current journal contains at least 100,000 records.
 Midnight has just passed.
When changing journals, the system creates an empty journal file. Once that
file is created, the system can begin recording new information.
Journal Numbering
Numbering for the journal database starts at 1 and increments by one every
time you switch journals. Your system can maintain up to 99,999 journals.
However, it is a good idea to remove older journals that you no longer need
from the system.
See “Maintaining Your Journal Databases” in the C•CURE 800/8000 System

Maintenance Guide for further information.

Audit Trail
Audit Trail
In C•CURE 800/8000, audit trail can track changes to the security objects and
personnel records at either of two levels:
 Field level — records details of changes
 Object level — records only that changes were made (the default)
To choose the desired audit level, select or clear the Enable Field-level
Auditing option on the Auditing tab of the System Variables dialog box. You
must stop and restart the C•CURE System driver for the change to take effect.
See “Defining Auditing Options” in the C•CURE 800/8000 System Maintenance
Guide for further information.
NOTE The system only starts tracking the changes to objects and personnel at
the level indicated on the System Variables Auditing tab once you have
changed that option and stopped and restarted the driver.
Changes Which Are Not Audited

The following changes are not audited at all:
 Changes not stored in the database permanently, such as running
reports or querying the personnel database.
 Changes to user configurable reports, such as report titles and editable
fields.
 Changes to fields set by the system, even if based on user action, such as
the date of modification field in the Personnel Record dialog box.
 Purges of personnel records.
 Changes to badge setup.
 Changes to the bitmap file associated with each map. (The preceding
changes take place outside C•CURE 800/8000. Changes to the map
file name itself would be audited.)
 Changes where the C•CURE 800/8000 is part of a C•CURE Central
network, and the C•CURE 800/8000 records are altered by C•CURE
Central as follows:
• When you delete a server and reassign all records to a new home node.
• When external cards (cards that belong to another server home
node) with Card number 0 (zero) are deleted.
Before users can delete a server as their home node server, they must
choose a new home node computer to preserve personnel records as
described above. When a new home node is selected, the records on the
deleted server are assigned a new CID (computer ID) on the new home
node server. The records are the same but the CID for the record has
changed.
The CID for each personnel record on the deleted server, CID # 2000, is
CID #2000; the new server's CID is #2500. The personnel records from
the deleted server would therefore have #2500 as their CID instead of
#2000.
Changes Not Audited at the Field Level

Changes to the following are currently audited at the object level, not at the
field level:
 All reports
 Personnel View dialog box
 Configure Layout of Personnel Record Screen dialog box
 Color Setting dialog box (for setting Personnel dialog box color)
 Configure Import/Export Template for Personnel dialog box
 Import Asset Data dialog box
 Configure Import/Export Template for Assets dialog box
 Badge Setup dialog box

The Audit Trail Reporting Process
A single C•CURE 800/8000 System transaction encompasses the time
from when a top-level dialog box is opened until the OK button is clicked
in that dialog box. In between, many other dialog boxes can be changed.
Example:
You could bring up a specific controller/apC and create 30 new inputs
attached to the Controller/apC before pressing OK in the main
Controller/apC dialog box.
All the audit trail messages generated from this single transaction would
display in the audit log report as a group with the same date and time.
How Audit Trail Processes Deletions

When you delete an object, the audit trail not only records that deletion, but
also records changes to any other objects caused by that first deletion.
Example:
If a clearance is deleted, the audit messages record changes to all
personnel records which included that clearance.
How Audit Trail Displays Names

The audit log report displays the current name of all objects that were
changed, not their names at the time the audit was done—except for
personnel records that have the Temporary Record check box selected.
A special situation can also sometimes exist for those objects—such as

readers, inputs, and outputs—with defaults for the creation of their name.
Example:
The second reader on the third floor apC/8x panel 3rdFC1 would be
named 3rdFC1 apC:1 R2.
If a user had given such an object a non-default name, a field-level audit

report would show that the object’s name was changed from the default name
to a non-default name.
Example:
Reader 3rdF Rear added by Cindy on
chew2k Reader Name is “AAAdefault”
Reader name is changed from “AAAdefault” to “non-defaultBB name”
Default Values for Objects in Full Field-level Auditing

If you create a new object and change a default value in that record, audit trail
can give you two possible results:
 In the first case where the default value is removed before the record is
committed, the audit information will show no audit information about
the value of the field.
 In the second case where the changed default value is committed, the
audit information will show that the default value was created and then
modified.
It is possible to determine the history of values by simply comparing them

with the values of the default record of the appropriate object. In cases where
no audit information is shown for a given field, you can infer that the field’s
default value was removed prior to being saved. All subsequent changes to
any of the object’s values will be explicitly identified in the audit trail.
Generating a Journal Report
Generating a Journal Report

You can report on information in the historical journal—from the activity log
or the audit log or from both. You can also report on information in the event
incident logs.
To Generate a Journal Report
1. Select Reports from the C•CURE 800/8000 Administration application

menu bar and then click Journal>Journal Replay as shown in Figure 2-
1.

Creating Activity Reports
Creating Activity Reports

There are four reporting categories for you to choose from for activity log
journal reports—all on the General tab:
 Message types
 Personnel
 Security items
 Assets (if you purchased the Asset Manager option)
Within each category, you can include all of the items or select the particular
ones you want.
Example:
You could include all the message types you are allowed to view, a
selected number of personnel, and only the iSTAR Controllers in
building 1. You can also select “No” security items, “No” personnel, and
“No” assets to exclude those activity log messages from the report.
The categories all work together. In order for an activity log message to be
displayed, it must match the criteria from each category which applies to it.
The selection of message types is the only one that applies to all activity log
messages, because every activity log message must include one message type.
Thus, all activity log messages displayed in a report must match the list of
selected message types. The other three reporting categories—personnel,
security items, and assets—are not necessarily present in each activity log
message. If an activity log message does not include any reference to a
particular reporting category, the message will still be displayed regardless of
what you selected in that category.
Example:
You select “card admitted” and “state change” message types, three
specific personnel, and all security items. The report will include card
admitted messages at all doors only for those people selected, but state
change messages for all security objects. Since the card admitted
messages contain references to both personnel and objects, admit
messages are based on both selections. State change messages do not
reference personnel because this type of message does not pertain to
them. Consequently, the state change messages ignore any personnel
selections.

NOTE You can run a journal activity report only on those message types and
security items that your monitoring user privilege allows you to see. In
addition, in a C•CURE 800/8000 with partitions, you can only view
messages that contain objects in your own partition and in any shared
partitions. Users who are partition administrators can view messages
containing objects in all partitions that they administer, dependent only
upon their monitoring user privilege. See “Configuring Partitions,” in the
C•CURE 800/8000 Software Configuration Guide and “Configuring
Monitoring Privileges” in the C•CURE 800/8000 Personnel Configuration
Guide for more information.

Creating Audit Reports
Creating Audit Reports

There are six reporting categories for you to choose from for audit log journal
reports—on both the General and the Audit Trail tabs:
 Personnel
 Allowable security items
 Assets (if you purchased the Asset Manager option)
 Users
 Types of changes made by users.
 Audit replay type
Within the first four categories, you can include all the items or select the
particular ones you want. You can also select “No” security items, “No”
personnel, and “No” assets to exclude those messages from the report.
Example:
You could include a selected number of personnel records, all the security
objects you are allowed to view, a selected number of users, and
modification and deletion changes to the configuration database.
The categories work together. A report displays all the journal audit
messages with the selected changes made by the selected users to the
selected personnel record(s), selected object(s), or the selected asset(s).
Example:
You select no personnel, all controllers and readers, five users,
modification audit changes, and field level audit type. The report will
include any audit message where any of those five system users modified
any iSTAR or reader in the configuration database, with the details of the
fields that they changed.

NOTE You can run an audit journal report on only those security items that your
monitoring user privilege allows you to see. In addition, in a
C•CURE 800/8000 with partitions, you can view only messages that
contain objects in your own partition and in shared partitions. However,
users who are partition administrators can view messages containing
objects in all partitions that they administer, dependent only upon their
monitoring user privilege. For more information, see “Configuring
Partitions,” in the C•CURE 800/8000 Software Configuration Guide and
“Configuring Monitoring Privileges,” in the C•CURE 800/8000 Personnel
Configuration Guide.

Creating Incident Reports
Creating Incident Reports
Incident Tracking Overview

C•CURE 800/8000 journal reports track the history of all monitored
activities and activity messages for inputs (alarm points) and/or events
labeled with the Incident ID, if this functionality has been enabled for your
system.
NOTE By default, Incident ID functionality is not enabled.
To enable Incident ID
1. Select the UseIncidentId Entry in the Driver section of the Ccure.ini

file, accessed through the Diag Systems utility
2. Set the Entry Value to 1 (one).
3. Restart the driver if it is running.
For more information, see the Diag System help.
The Incident tab in the Journal Replay dialog box allows you to replay event
messages and log messages for either of two types of Incident IDs described
in the following sections:
 A particular incident group
 A particular event incident
An Incident ID is a unique number generated by C•CURE 800/8000. It

consists of two parts separated by an underscore and is guaranteed to be
unique:
Example:
499796920_2821
 The first digits before the underscore are the number of seconds since
January 1, 1990 (GMT).
 The four digits after the underscore are:
• For an incident group, the incident group object ID.
• For an event not in an incident group, the event object ID.
C•CURE 800/8000 Reports Guide 2–

Incident Groups
An Incident Group allows you to group inputs and events together. You
configure Incident Groups from the C•CURE 800/8000 Administration
application menu, Configure>Group>Incident Group. See the
C•CURE 800/8000 Software Configuration Guide for more information.
Incident Groups can consist of the following:

 One or more inputs
 One or more events
 A combination of the preceding two elements
Once an Incident Group is created, and an input (alarm point) or an event

inside of the group changes state, a unique Incident ID is created for the
group. This ID is also maintained and tagged (or labeled) to all the
monitored activities and activity messages that are part of the group. During
this change of state, if other inputs or events inside of the group also change
state, they are labeled with the same Incident ID established by the initial
activation.
The Incident ID is also tagged to monitored activities and activity messages

for inputs when the following inputs are generated:
 Regular inputs
• Input activates
• Input deactivates
• Input supervision errors.
 Door Switch Monitor (DSM) input for a door
• Door forced open active
• Door held open active
• Door close (the inactive state for both door forced and door held)
• Supervision error for DSM input used by a door
 Request to Exit (RTE) input for door:
• Supervision error for RTE input used by door
NOTE To ensure that all monitored activities and activity messages tagged with
the Incident ID are sent to both the Monitoring Station and the Journal,
the Send state changes of this event to monitoring station and Send
state changes of this event to journal check boxes on the Event dialog
box and the Send state changes to monitoring station and Send state
changes to journal check boxes on the Input dialog box must be selected.
The unique Incident ID is reused within an Incident Group until both the
following parameters are met:
• All events inside of the group are fully acknowledged and cleared.
• All monitored activities of inputs change from an active state to an
inactive state.
When the driver is restarted, a new Incident ID is issued to an Incident Group.

Example:
• Incident Group A contains Input X.
• Input X changes its state; the Incident ID tags to activity messages
for this Input.
• The driver is restarted while Input X is still active. A new Incident ID
is issued and tagged to new activity messages for Input X.
Incident Group Example:

Guard Station Activities with Incident ID with Two Phase Acknowledge and Clear
 Preconditions:
• Incident Group A contains Input 1 and Event B.
• Input 1 is configured to activate Event B when Input 1 is active.
 Action:
• Input 1 is activated to trigger Event B to activate.
• Input 1 is deactivated.
• Event B is acknowledged.
• Event B is cleared.
• Input 1 is activated to cause new Incident ID.
 The monitored activities and the message activities are generated with
their tagged Incident ID as follows:
12:02:15 [12:02:16] Input 1 activated [Incident 499712535_2820]
12:02:15 Event B activated [Incident 499712535_2820]
12:02:15 [12:02:16] Input 1 deactivated [Incident 499712535_2820]
12:02:23 Manual action by Smith, Anne: acknowledge Event B [Incident
499712535_2820]
12:02:16 Event B deactivated [Incident 499712535_2820]
12:02:23 Manual action by Smith, Anne: clear Event B
[Incident 499712535_2820]
12:04:25 [12:04:26] Input 1 activated [Incident 499712601_2820] new
incident
12:04:25 Event B activated [Incident 499712601_2820]
NOTE If you open a closed event from the Monitoring Station Activity or Event
Monitor to add a new log message to it, the Review Event dialog box
displays the Incident ID for the most recent occurrence of the event,
instead of the Incident ID for the event occurrence to which you are
adding the message.
Example:
In the preceding Incident Group Example, if at 12:04:26 you opened
the Event B occurrence activated at 12:02:15 and deactivated at
12:02:16 to log an important new message, the Incident ID that
displays on the Review Event dialog box—and that will be attached
to the log message—will be Incident 499712601_2820 for the most
recent occurrence of Event B, instead of Incident 499712535_2820.
Event Incident
An incident is a series of alarm instances and other related actions grouped
together for reporting purposes. An Incident ID is a unique number that
denotes a series of event activities starting when the event is activated and
ending when the event is deactivated and has no active causes.
If the event is configured for acknowledgment, the Incident ID ends when the
event satisfies all the following conditions on the Monitoring Station and is:
 Deactivated
 Acknowledged
 Cleared
 Has no active causes
After an event incident ends, its Incident ID is still kept on the Monitoring
Station Event Status dialog box until the event becomes active with a new
active cause. As long as an event does not become active again, all messages
logged to it still retain the previous Incident ID. This applies to all three types
of event activation:
 Permanent activation
 Momentary activation
 Latching event
During an event’s activation period, any other related activity messages are
assigned the same Incident ID. The activity messages included are
 Event acknowledgements
 Event clears
 Event acknowledgements overdue
 Event resets
 Event log messages—including acknowledgement and clear messages
 Event re-activations
 Event deactivations
An Incident ID can have multiple causes. If the same event is activated by
some other cause during its activation period, a new Incident ID is not
assigned. The event still keeps the Incident ID of the earliest active cause, as
long as the event is still active.
Event activations get new Incident IDs when the driver is restarted.
Example:
If a manual action activates an event from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m and the driver
is stopped and restarted at 10 a.m., the event activation at the restart of
the driver gets a new Incident ID. However, if a panel event is no longer
active, but still needs acknowledgement or clearing, it keeps the same
Incident ID after the driver is restarted.
To Create an Incident Report
described in“Generating a Journal Report” on page 2-8 and select the
Report incident logs option as the type of replay.
2. Click the Incident tab on the Journal Replay dialog box, as shown in
Figure 2-6 on page 2-31 and enter information according to Table 2-5 on
page 2-32.
Figure 2-6: Journal Replay - Incident Tab
NOTE You can not run the same incident log report for both an event Incident
ID and an incident group. The Incident ID and Incident Group fields are
mutually exclusive.

The system then calculates the incident starting date\time and
displays it in this Incident Occurred Date/Time field. This starting
date\time value is also entered in the Start Date/Time field in the
Replay Date/Time Range box in the top of the Journal Replay
dialog box. (The Start Date\Time field previously displayed the time
when the first journal message was stored in the current journal
volume.) The new value becomes the date and time from which the
system retrieves the incident ID log messages from the journal
file(s) when you click Begin Replay.
NOTE: Journal replay for incident log reporting respects partition
privileges. If journal replay user A is not in the same
partition as the Monitoring Station user B who
acknowledges events and user A does not have privileges
to see user B’s partition, incident log journals replayed by
user A do not show acknowledgements by user B.

You can select the security objects for your report from those items your
monitoring privilege allows you to see.
The list of security items to select from the Journal Replay - Select Items
dialog box includes all the objects in the database that can be created,
modified, or deleted. Some of these objects, such as “System Variables,” only
appear in audit log messages, not in activity log messages. If the
C•CURE 800/8000 is partitioned, the dialog box displays only objects from
your partition and any shared partitions, with one exception. If you are a
partition administrator, the dialog box displays objects from all partitions that
you administer. See the C•CURE 800/8000 Software Configuration Guide for
more information about partitioning.
To Select Allowable Security Items
1. On the General tab of the Journal Replay dialog box, select the Selected
security items option and then click Select security items.
The Journal Replay - Select Items dialog box appears, as shown in

If you select a group option, $All xxx (where xxx equals the type of
object), is displayed in the Select Items box. $All xxx is a group that
contains all the currently-configured individual objects and group
objects of the selected type. $All xxx is dynamically updated to include
new objects when they are created. If C•CURE 800/8000 is partitioned,
selecting $All xxx means selecting all objects only in your partition and in
any shared partitions. See the C•CURE 800/8000 Software Configuration
Guide for more information about partitioning.
If you selected Door in the Type list box and moved doors or door groups
to the Selected Items box (as described in Step 4 below), an Access
Direction box appears on the bottom right of the Journal Replay - Select
Items dialog box, shown in Figure 2-9 on page 2-38. See “To Select Bi-
directional Doors and a Door Direction for Activity Reports” on page 2-37
for information about this box.
4. You select objects and groups for your report by moving them from the
Select Items box to the Selected Items box.
A Wildcard search can be used to search for a specific object or group. See
NOTE “Using Wildcard Search” on page 1-5 for more information and examples.

If neither the IN nor OUT check box is selected, no access messages are
included in the journal replay. If at least one check box (either IN or
OUT) is selected, access messages with the selected direction, as well as
all access messages with unknown directions, are included in the journal
replay.
Selecting Personnel for Activity and Audit Reports

You can determine which personnel information to include in a report. The
report includes all journal messages that reference personnel you specify in
your personnel query. For activity reports, you can report on such things as
accesses, rejects, manual actions, logins, and logouts for those personnel
records. For audit reports, you can report on any configuration changes made
to those personnel records in the database.
NOTE If C•CURE 800/8000 is partitioned, you can only select personnel from
your own partition and any shared partitions, with one exception.
Partition administrators can select personnel from all partitions that they
administer. See the C•CURE 800/8000 Software Configuration Guide for
more information. If you have set the system option for partitioning with
global clearance assignment, see “Defining Personnel Options” in the
C•CURE 800/8000 System Maintenance Guide for more information.
To Select Personnel
1. On the General tab of the Journal replay dialog box, select the Selected
personnel option and then click Select personnel.
The Personnel Query dialog box appears, as shown in Figure 2-10 on
page 2-40.
Figure 2-10: Personnel Query - General Tab
NOTE Your personnel view determines the layout of the Personnel Query dialog
box. The preceding figure shows the Personnel Query dialog box from the
$System Person View. If you are using another view or are using a
partitioned system, the Personnel Query dialog box that opens for you
may look different. See “Configuring Personnel Views” in the C•CURE
800/8000 Personnel Configuration Guide for more information.
2. Specify search criteria for your query, just as you would when querying
the Personnel data table. Follow the procedure detailed in Step 6
on page 1-35.
3. Select one of the following query options

• Existing Records to query existing records only
• Deleted Records to query deleted records only
• All Records to query both existing and deleted records
4. Once you have selected the personnel information criteria for your
query, click Do Query. The Personnel Query in Progress dialog box
opens. This dialog box displays the number of personnel records being
retrieved by the query. If your personnel database is very large and the
query is taking too long, you can cancel it by clicking the Stop Query
button.
When the system either finishes retrieving records or stops the query, the
Journal replay dialog box reappears. This dialog box displays the query
results in the Records selected field: the total number of personnel
records found in the database that met your criteria or the number of
records found before you clicked Stop Query.
NOTE If your system is partitioned, query results are restricted to personnel

records in your own partition and in any shared partitions. If you are a
partition administrator, query results include personnel in all partitions
that you administer. If you have set the system option for partitioning
with global clearance assignment, see “Defining Personnel Options” in the
C•CURE 800/8000 System Maintenance Guide for more information.
Selecting Users for an Audit Report

You can select the system users you want to include in your report.
To Select Users
1. On the Audit tab of the Journal replay dialog box, select the Selected
users option and then click Select users.
The Journal Replay - Select Users dialog box appears, as shown in
Figure 2-11: Journal Replay - Select Users Dialog Box
.
This dialog box includes all system personnel who are or have ever been
users and permits you to specify which users you want to appear in your
report.
NOTE If C•CURE 800/8000 is partitioned, the Available users box displays

only users from your own partition and any shared partitions, with one
exception. If you are a partition administrator, the box displays system
users from all partitions that you administer. See the C•CURE 800/8000
Software Configuration Guide for more information about partitioning.
2. In the Available users box, highlight users for the report and click the
Add button, or double-click the users. The users move to the Selected
users box.
3. To deselect users, in the Selected users box, highlight the users and click
the Remove button, or double-click the users. The users move to the
Available Users box.
You can add or remove all users by clicking the Add All or Remove All
TIP
buttons.
4. When you are finished making your selection, click Close. The Journal
replay dialog box reappears with the number of users that you selected
displayed in the dialog box.
Running a Journal Report
Running a Journal Report

When you are finished specifying your report criteria, click Begin replay. The
system generates your report and the Journal report dialog box appears, as
shown in Figure 2-12 for activity log and audit log reports. For information on
running and viewing incident activity reports, see “Viewing Journal Incident
Reports” on page 2-46.
Figure 2-12: Journal Report Viewer with Activity Log and Audit Log Messages
The Journal report shown above includes both activity log messages and
audit log messages.
Activity log messages, as shown in the following example, can display two
dates/times—the first is the date/time when the activity happened at the apC
(or controller, not shown); the second, displayed in brackets, is the date/time
when the message was received by C•CURE 800/8000.
Example:
09/09/2010 11:23:56 [09/10/2010 10:00:00] Apc 1 communication failure

Audit log messages, as shown in the following example, display only a single
date/time—the date/time when C•CURE 800/8000 processed the change to
the data. Notice that “on DANB” indicates the name of the node on which the
audit took place. If the change was made by an import of data rather than a
normal edit at the C•CURE 800/8000 Administration application, the entry
would have “[Import]” appended to the end of the message.
Example:
10/06/2005 10:16:35 Reader “Test apC apC:1 R3” added by King, Mr Jay on DANB
If you have opted to use field-level audit, the journal replay messages
indicate the changes made at the field level as well as at the object level. A
message displays “User modified” when Partition Administrator for
Selection Partition is added due to the full audit feature.
Example:
12/15/2006 14:22:15 Person King, Jonathan modified by Smythe, Winslow (import)
Expiration date has been changed from 11/22/2003 to 12/22/2004
If the date range you entered on the Journal Replay dialog box includes
NOTE
missing journal volumes, a message appears saying that journal volumes
are missing and giving the missing volume numbers.
The Status bar at the bottom of the C•CURE 800/8000 dialog box
dynamically displays the status of the replay process: for example,
Searching, Processing, Paused, and Done.
You can print your report or save it to a file. See “Printing and Saving a
Report” on page 1-22, for further information.
NetVue Activity Messages

NetVue segments are tracked in the C•CURE 800/8000 journal. When you
include NetVue Activity message types in a journal replay and select the
Display after Replay Completes option in the Results box in the Journal
Replay dialog box, messages, similar to the example shown in Figure 2-13 on
page 2-45, appear in the report.

Overview
Overview
The C•CURE 800/8000 Enhanced Reporting feature provides:
 Easier access to the valuable data stored in C•CURE 800/8000 journals.
 Pre-configured reports to address specific reporting needs.
 Ability to customize additional reports.
The enhanced reporting feature provides an add-on reporting module to

C•CURE 800/8000, which de-normalizes and exports Progress Journal data
to an external reporting database.
Crystal Reports is used as the reporting engine to provide predefined reports.

However, you can use any ODBC-compliant third-party data analysis tool,
such as, Excel, Crystal Reports, Actuate, and Access.
NOTE The C•CURE 800/8000 system includes a utility to update an existing

Enhanced Reporting Database for Multiple Card or Government Card
compatibility. If you have an existing Journal Export Database which you
have not yet updated and are using Multiple Cards or Government Cards,
you should run the Enhanced Reporting Database Conversion Utility after
upgrading to the current release, but before running any enhanced
reports. See the C•CURE 800/8000 Installation Guide for more information.
Definitions, Acronyms, and Abbreviations
 Crystal Reports – Crystal Reports is a third-
party report generation tool. It accesses
databases via ODBC and can be used to design
and administer reports.
 Journal Export Database – This is the Database
that contains the extracted journal data, also
referred to as the Enhanced Reporting database.
 Data Extraction Service – Independent process
that extracts data from the current journal
databases and dumps the data into the Journal
Export database. The Data Extraction Service is
also referred to as the Journal Export Service
and runs as a Windows service.
Journal Export Service
The C•CURE 800/8000 Journal Export Service extracts data from the
current journal databases and exports the data to the reporting database, as
shown in Figure 3-1.
Figure 3-1: Exporting Journal Data to a Reporting Database

Enhanced (Crystal Reports) Reporting Interface
Crystal Reports is integrated with C•CURE 800/8000 as shown in Figure 3-2.
Figure 3-2: Crystal Reports Integration
Crystal Reports is the platform for all reports developed by Software House
using the Enhanced Reporting feature. The current version of
C•CURE 800/8000 installs the royalty-free runtime version of Crystal
Reports software.
The user interface to the reporting environment is through the

C•CURE 800/8000 Administration application, which enables you to specify
report parameters and initiate reports.
The current version of the C•CURE 800/8000 Enhanced reporting feature

allows you to:
 Configure reports.
 Schedule reports via the Windows scheduler utility.
 E-mail the results of a scheduled report to an e-mail address.
 Print the report results to a specific printer.
 Produce predefined reports in Microsoft Excel.
Microsoft Excel must be installed on the system to view the reports in
Excel.
 Export the report results, whether the report was generated
automatically or manually, to different file formats:
• pdf — Adobe Acrobat Reader
• doc — Microsoft Word (Document Format)
• rtf — Microsoft Word (Rich Text Format)
• rpt — Crystal Reports
• txt — Notepad
• html — Hypertext Markup Language (Can be viewed in Notepad)
• xml — Extensible Markup Language (Can be viewed in Notepad)
• xls — Microsoft Excel
 Save report templates.
 Save batch reports (either the same or different versions) in
different folders at runtime.
 Include PID, card number, Text1, and Int1 fields in the database as
identifiers.
 Store cardholder name in Journal table entries, which lets you
handle temporary cards.
The following predefined report types are currently available:

 Admitted Access by Door Group and Admitted Access by Door
• Reports on doors with admitted accesses greater than the user-
specified threshold.
 Input Activation by Input Group and Input Activation by Input
• Reports on inputs that have activated more than the user-specified
threshold.
 Rejected Access by Door Group and Rejected Access by Door
• Reports on doors with rejected access attempts greater than the
user- specified threshold.
 Time and Attendance
• Reports on amount of time a person spent in an area or facility.
Report Customization
The predefined reports provided with the current version of
C•CURE 800/8000 are not customizable. You can specify parameters for
the reports, such as selecting readers, or start and end date/time, but
cannot modify the report format or any aspect of the data collection of the
report.
If you want to create customized reports, you must purchase a third-party
reporting tool such as Crystal Reports, Excel, Actuate, Access, or similar
application.
The Administration’s reporting interface allows you to add any reports
that you have customized (using a third-party reporting tool) to the
custom reports folder. You can then run any of these reports based on
data collected via the journal export.
Creating a DSN for the Enhanced Reporting Database
Creating a DSN for the Enhanced Reporting Database

To export int1 and text1 fields of the personnel database without having to
specifically export personnel data, you can create a new DSN,
“CUSTFIELDS”.
To Create a New DSN
1. Go to Control Panel >Administrative Tools>Data Sources

(ODBC)>System DSN. The OBDC Data Source Administrator dialog
box opens, shown in Figure 3-3.
Figure 3-3: System DSN Tab

NOTE If your C•CURE 800/8000 server is running on a 64-bit Windows
Operating System, you must use the 32-bit version of the ODBC Data
Source Administrator tool (because the C•CURE 800/8000 server is a
32- bit program).
Run the 32-bit version of the Odbcad32.exe file located in the

%systemdrive%\Windows\SysWoW64 folder rather than the Control
Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources ODBC selection.
If you use the default, Control Panel 64-bit ODBC Data Source
Administrator, any System DSNs you define will not be accessible to the
C•CURE 800/8000 server.

Journal Export Overview
Journal Export Overview

This overview describes how journal export works from beginning to end.
However, before you can create predefined and custom journal reports, you
also need to be familiar with the following information:
 “Journal Export Database Schema” on page 3-14 – contains information
about Journal Export Database Schema and Journal Export Message,
Journal Export Database Tables, Export Journal Database Users, and
Table Field Name Standards.
 “Using the Progress Administration Service for Journal Export” on
page B-2 – contains information on the Progress utility used for database
administration.
 “Scheduling Reports to Run” on page 3-48 – describes the scheduling
of reports, such as Time and Attendance.
 “Re-initializing the C•CURE Journal Export Database” on page B-5 –
describes how to re-initialize the journal export database.
 “Initializing a Second C•CURE Journal Export Database” on page B-6 –
describes how to initialize a second export journal database.
Journal Export Scheduling

The Journal export service is controlled by the C•CURE 800 driver. As soon
as the current time is within the period when the journal export is scheduled
to run, and the journal export object is online, the export service begins
running. If the export service is scheduled to run all the time, it starts
running as soon as the driver startup is complete. The journal export service
continues to run until all journal messages requested are exported.
NOTE The journal export finishes exporting all messages even if that means
continuing to run after it is no longer within the scheduled runtime. When
the C•CURE 800 driver shuts down, so does the journal export.
Once the journal export finishes exporting all desired messages, it goes to
sleep for the export wait time—the amount of time specified in the Export
every hh:mm during time spec field on the Configure Journal Export
Scheduling tab. It then wakes up and exports any new journal records that

have come in since the last export. This continues while the time specification
to export data is active. The export stops when it is outside the time
specification.
If your journal export is within the time period when it is scheduled to run,
but is waiting to run until the wait period has expired, you can force it to run
immediately by doing the following:
1. Taking it offline.
2. Saving it.
3. Putting it back online.

4. Saving it again.
You can also force the journal export to end its current export run by putting
it offline.
If for any reason the journal export service gets an error when trying to access
the export database, it stops the export and waits until the export wait time
has passed, before starting to run again.
NOTE C•CURE 800/8000 does not support multiple journal exports to the same
database.
How Selection Criteria are Applied

The journal export object selects messages based on the entries in the
following fields on the Configure Journal Export dialog box:
 The Name of user “whose monitoring privilege will be used for filtering”
field on the Setup tab.
 The Ignore messages older than field on the Scheduling tab.
These entry values are saved when the journal export run is first started. If
you change these values, the changes do not go into effect until the current
journal export run has finished and the next run started.
In addition, the journal export operates on the principle that journal

records that have already been exported are never changed:
 Consequently, any changes made to the selection criteria apply only to
future journal messages (after the next scheduled journal export run
starts), never to existing journal messages.
 To make a change to the selection criteria that applies to all records,
erase your journal export database and start the export over from the
beginning.
Journal Export Service Operation

1. When the journal export starts running, it first checks to see if there is
a request to “erase the database.”
• If such a request has been issued, the journal export then checks
whether or not there are fewer than 1,000,000 records in the
exported database:
– If there are fewer than that number of records, all existing data in
the database is erased and a message entered in the journal when
the erase completes.
– If there are more than that number of records, the erase is not done
(since it would take too long—with 1,000,000 records in the
database, an erase can take up to a few hours), but an error message
is put into the journal.
Once a successful erase has been done, the journal export goes to sleep
for the export wait time period and then wakes back up.
NOTE A database with a CC8X_Journ.d1 file larger than approximately 500 MB

is likely to have more than 1 million records in it.
2. The journal export finds all those records that satisfy the selection
criteria, but have not yet been exported. It begins to extract these records
out of the journal, reformat them, and put them into the journal export
database. This process continues until all the desired records have been
extracted.
NOTE This process puts a fairly heavy load on the system doing the exporting.
3. Once all the desired records have been exported, the journal export
checks to see if any of these exported records are older than the value
entered in the Remove records older than field on the Configure
Journal Export Scheduling tab.
• If any such records are found, up to 50,000 of them are deleted at
once. (It would take too long to delete any more than 50,000.)
4. Once this delete is done, the journal export goes to sleep for the export
wait-time period. If the wait-time period finishes within the time
specification when the journal export is active, the whole process begins
over again.
Journal Export Database Schema
Journal Export Database Schema

Figure 3-6 illustrates the database schema for the Journal Export database.
Figure 3-6: Journal Export Database Schema

Journal Export Database Tables
All text fields in the Journal and Servers tables in the Journal Export database
are case-sensitive. Therefore, all queries against fields in these tables must
reflect the exact case of the text strings.
The Journal Export database consists of the tables shown in Table 3-1.
Table 3-1: Journal Export Database Tables
Table Contains
Servers A list of all C•CURE 800/8000 servers whose data is being imported into this table.
Journal All the journal messages that have been exported from the C•CURE 800/8000 system. The
messages are reformatted to make them easier both to interpret and for report-generation. All
characters in the journal table are case-sensitive.
Objects A list of all objects referenced in the Journal table. Object names and IDs are passed as part
of the journal messages retrieved from C•CURE 800/8000 and added to this table as
needed. The Object EUID is the ID referenced in the journal table.
Person A list of all personnel referenced in the Journal table. Personnel names, PIDs, and EUIDs are
passed as part of the journal messages retrieved from C•CURE 800/8000 and added to this
table as needed. The Person EUID is the ID referenced in the journal table.
NOTE: If an export journal record references a person or object that is deleted at the time the
export operation occurs, the PersonxFullName fields contains a string corresponding
to $$Deleted(xxx) where xxx is the corresponding object ID or Person ID. However,
the Object and Person tables contain the correct information.
Assets A list of all assets referenced in the Journal table. Asset names, PIDs, and EUIDs are
passed as part of the journal messages retrieved from C•CURE 800/8000 and added to this
table as needed. The asset EUID is the ID referenced in the journal table.
CodeTypes References to several different types of status code.

Example:
Journal Message Codes, Admit Codes, Reject Codes, Device Status, etc.
The CodeTypes table contains an entry for each type of code.
Table 3-1: Journal Export Database Tables, continued
Table Contains
Codes A list of different codes for each type of code
Example:
There is one record for each card reject code.
All system-defined strings in the Journal Export database are defined in this table. This is the
only table that requires translation. No other table should contain any hard-coded strings.
The LanguageCode field in this table contains a text code for the language of the particular
string stored in CodeString field. All languages configured in the Administration application
that are used to export the codes are exported to this table.
The following are the code strings currently supported:
ENU = US English
DEU = German
FRA = French
ESP = Spanish
CHS = Simplified Chinese
CHT = Traditional Chinese
JPN = Japanese
GroupMember For each object group and area defined in C•CURE 800/8000, the GroupMember table
contains an entry for each object that is a member of that group. This table is used for
generating reports based on groups of objects. The Is Exit Reader field is used to
differentiate data between entry and exit readers for an area.
PersonGroupMember For each personnel group defined in C•CURE 800/8000, the PersonGroupMember table
contains an entry for each person who is a member of that group. This table is used for
generating reports based on groups of personnel.
Export Journal Database Users
The Export Journal database is configured with two default users and
passwords: SYSPPROGRESS and Manager.
User: SYSPROGRESS Password: sysprogress
User: Manager Password: manager
You can change or add additional users via the Progress SQL Explorer tool
using standard SQL syntax.
Example:
CREATE USER ‘username’, ‘password’;
COMMIT;
Creates a user with no privileges
GRANT RESOURCE, DBA TO 'username';

COMMIT;
Grants full privileges to user
GRANT SELECT ON PUB.Person TO 'username';

COMMIT;
Grants SELECT privilege for table:
PUB.Person to user
REVOKE SELECT ON PUB.Person FROM ‘username’;

COMMIT;
Revokes the SELECT privilege
DROP USER ‘username’;

COMMIT;
Deletes the user
Journal Messages Structure
The Journal Message Structures, shown in Table A-2 on page A-3 in
Appendix A, “Export Journal Message Structure”, provides the details of all
of the current C•CURE 800/8000 journal database messages. This data is
structured in columns that contain only consistent types of data. Each
column in the table represents a field in the Journal table of the journal
export database. The table field name standards are shown inTable A-1 on
page A-2 in the Appendix A, “Export Journal Message Structure”.
Configuring Journal Export in the Administration Application
Configuring Journal Export in the Administration Application

The C•CURE 800/8000 Administration application contains a
Configure Journal Export dialog box. The Administration application
also contains Report configuration dialog boxes based on the Crystal
Reports.
The Configure Journal Export dialog box, shown in Figure 3-7 on page 3-20,
allows you to do a Journal Export, moving journal activity data from the
C•CURE 800 database to the Journal Export Database. Journal activity data
is historical activity log data with real time events, and does not include audit
trail information. See the “Overview” on page 3-2 for the definition of terms
and more information.
You can schedule how often journal activity data is exported from the journal,
as well as which journal activity data is exported.
Go to Options>Journal Export to access the Configure Journal Export dialog

box.
The Reports>Journal menu has the following related options:

 Journal Replay – Current journal replay and Audit Trail capability, see
Chapter 2 for more information.
 Predefined – Predefined Crystal-based reports are provided by Software
House. Predefined report executable files are stored in the
ccure800\4gl\reports\predefined folder. See “Running Enhanced
Reports” on page 3-29 for more information.
 Custom – User-supplied Crystal-based reports. Custom report
executable files are stored in the ccure800\4gl\reports\custom
folder. See “Running Enhanced Reports” on page 3-29 for more
information.
NOTE Incident IDs for Journal Incident Activity are exported into the Journal
Export Database as follows:
 For all messages but log messages—as the entire “TextData” field.
 For log messages—the Incident ID is the first portion of the
“TextData” field followed by part of the logged message text.
This field does not display in any of the C•CURE 800/8000 Predefined
Crystal-based reports. Consequently, you have to create a Custom Report
that includes the “TextData”field to see incident log information.

To Configure a Journal Export
1. Go to Options>Journal Export from the C•CURE

800/8000 Administration application menu.
2. The Configure Journal Export dialog box, shown in Figure 3-7, appears

8. Click the Scheduling tab to open, as shown in Figure 3-10 on page 3-25.
Figure 3-10: Configure Journal Export Dialog Box - Scheduling Tab
The parameter values you enter for the Scheduling tab are used to
schedule journal export and message filtering based on time.
9. Provide the information from Table 3-5 in the Scheduling tab.
Table 3-5: Configure Journal Export Dialog Box - Scheduling Tab Fields
Export journal data only Enter a time specification (time spec) or double-click to get
during this time spec the Time Spec Selection browser and select a time spec.
Journal exports are performed only within the boundaries
of the time specification. The default value is $Always.
NOTE: Journal Exports will start only while this time spec is
activated. However, an active journal export will run
to completion, even if it completes after the time
spec period ends.
Table 3-5: Configure Journal Export Dialog Box - Scheduling Tab Fields, continued
Export every [hh:mm] during Enter the time interval during the time specification that the
time spec journal export is performed.
Example:
If you want a journal export performed every 15
minutes during the time specification, you would set
this interval at 0:15.
Minimum value is 10 minutes. Maximum value is 999
hours. Minutes range is from 0 to 59 minutes. The default
value is 0:10 (ten minutes).
NOTE: Be sure to set this value equal to or greater than 10
minutes to avoid slowing down the system
significantly.
Ignore messages older than Specify a date to be used on the initial journal export to a
new Journal Export database. Only journal data recorded
on or after the specified date is a candidate for export. The
default value is 12/31/1989 00:00 GMT (that time
component is not displayed).
Remove messages older Enter the number of days to indicate the date before which
than the journal export database is cleaned as part of the
journal export process. Journal messages that are too old
(occurred prior to the number of days entered) are deleted
at the end of every journal export. The default value is 180
days. The minimum value is 1 day. Zero days, which is
also allowed, indicates that messages should never be
removed.
NOTE: This is an approximation. To ensure that data is
properly removed, the cleanup process rounds to
the beginning of the current day and subtracts the
specified number of days plus one. All data more
current then this date is retained.
Since the Ignore messages older than field and Remove messages older than
field work in tandem, there is no point in exporting messages that will
immediately be removed.
Example:
Assuming that the current date is 01/01/2008 and you enter 01/01/2003 in
the Ignore messages older than field and 365 days in the Remove messages
older than field, the system then exports all journal messages between 2003
and 2008 and immediately deletes the messages between 2003 and 2007.
10. Click the SQL tab to open, as shown in Figure 3-11. Use the SQL tab to
define error logging.

Once this value is exceeded, older log files are deleted.
The range is 1 to 100. The default is disabled.
Once logging is enabled, the default is 10.
Running Enhanced Reports
Running Enhanced Reports

Creating a Journal Export Database, as described in the last section,
enables you to utilize Enhanced Reporting. Enhanced Reporting consists
of journal export, plus predefined and customized Crystal-based reports.
You can run the following types of enhanced reports from the C•CURE
Administration application Reports menu.
• Predefined Crystal-based reports – provided by Software House. The
report executable files are stored in ccure800\4gl\reports\
predefined folder.
Choose Reports>Journal>Predefined to access the Report Generation
for Predefined Journal Reports dialog box.
• Custom reports – Crystal-based reports developed by the user, dealer,
or outside consultant and stored in the ccure800\4gl\reports\custom
folder as executable files.
Choose Reports>Journal>Custom to access the Report Generation for
Custom Journal Reports dialog box.
By default, output from all reports is stored in the ccure800\4gl\user folder.

You can choose to save the report result elsewhere by defining another folder
in makeTAJob.ini using the TMPDIR section.
Example:
To save your batch report in C:\BatchReport1, set the defined folder on
the TMPDIR section of makeTAJob.ini as follows:
TMPDIR=C:\BatchReport1\

Running Predefined Journal Reports
The Report Generation for Predefined Reports dialog box, shown in
Figure 3-12, allows you to select any of the Software House-supplied Crystal
Reports-based reports to run, based on data collected via the journal export.
Provide the information from Table 3-7 on page 3-31 in the dialog box.
NOTE You must perform a Journal Export, from the Setup tab on the
Configure Journal Export dialog box, before using Predefined Journal
Reports. You only have to do the export once, when you finish
configuring the Journal Export Database setup or when you change it.
The reports display on the Crystal Reports Viewer dialog box is shown in
Figure 3-21 on page 3-46. The Crystal Reports Viewer supports e-mailing and
printing report results.
Figure 3-12: Report Generation for Predefined Reports Dialog Box
All of the reports for the current version of C•CURE 800/8000 (except for Time
and Attendance) require a consistent set of Crystal report parameters, shown
in Figure 3-13 on page 3-32 and Figure 3-14 on page 3-33 and described in
Table 3-8 on page 3-33.
For the Time and Attendance report, the Administration application prompts
for the report parameters, as shown in Figure 3-16 on page 3-35 and described
in Table 3-9 on page 3-23. These parameters are passed to a preprocessor
routine that generates the statistical data for the report. The data is then
passed to Crystal Reports, which produces the report. See “Time and
Attendance Report Parameters” on page 3-35 for more information.
You can also schedule the Time and Attendance report and any of the other
predefined Journal reports to run at regular intervals. For information, see
“Scheduling Reports to Run” on page 3-48.

Enhanced Reporting Maintenance
This appendix describes several procedures useful for maintaining journal

export for enhanced reporting.
In this appendix
 Using the Progress Administration Service for Journal Export..............................B-2
 Re-initializing the C•CURE Journal Export Database .............................................. B-5
C•CURE 800/8000 Reports Guide B–1

Using the Progress Administration Service for Journal Export
The Progress Administration Service for OpenEdge 10.2A is used for
database administration. This service is automatically installed and
configured on the system where the Journal Export database is installed and
is used to start up the database server. To check that this service is running
follow the following procedure.
To Check the Progress Administrative Service Status
1. Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Services. Select

AdminService for OpenEdge 10.2A. Right-click to display the context
drop-down menu, which indicates that the service is running when the
Stop option is visible, as shown in Figure B-1.
Figure B-1: Progress Administration Service

Using the Progress Administration Service for Journal Export
To Stop the Journal Export Database Server
1. Ensure that the Progress Administrative Services are started,

as explained in the previous task (see above).
2. Open the CCURE800>4gl>Database directory.
3. Double-click the batch file
named: stop_cc8x_journ.bat
-or-
1. You can also open a Windows command shell and change directory to the
\CCURE800 directory.
>cd d:\ccure800
2. Enter the command shown in Table B-1:
Table B-1: Stop Command Example
Stop Journal Export database Server Command
%DLC%\bin\dbman -database cc8x_journ -stop
To Start the Journal Export Database Server
1. Ensure that the Progress Administrative Services are started,

as explained above.
2. Open the CCURE800>4gl>Database directory.
3. Double-click the batch file

named: start_cc8x_journ.bat
To Start Additional Journal Export Database Servers
1. You can also open a Windows command shell and change directory to the
\CCURE800 directory.
>cd d:\ccure800

2. Enter the commands shown in Table B-2 using the cc8x_journ names
that you have created for addition journal Export Databases:
Table B-2: Start Command Examples
Start Journal Export Database Server Command

%DLC%\bin\dbman -database cc8x_journ -start
%DLC%\bin\dbman -database cc8x_journ1 -start
%DLC%\bin\dbman -database cc8x_journ2 -start
For more information about initializing a second (or subsequent) export

journal database see “Initializing a Second C•CURE Journal Export
Database” on page B-6.
NOTE The Progress Administrative Services must be running when the above
commands are executed.
NOTE The Connection Manager Properties (conmgr.properties) file must be up-

to-date. The dbman command will start/stop databases using the
conmgr.properties file. See “Initializing a Second C•CURE Journal Export
Database” on page B-6.
Re-initializing the C•CURE Journal Export Database

The following procedure describes how to re-initialize the export journal
database. You can use this procedure as an alternative to using the Erase
export journal button in the Configure Journal Export dialog box Setup tab,
shown in Figure 3-7 on page 3-20. The advantage to using this procedure is
that it:
 Works on large databases (greater than 1 million records).
 Is often much faster on large databases under 1 million records.
 Reclaims disk space where the Erase Export Journal option does not.
To Re-initialize the C•CURE Journal Export Database
1. Using the AdminService for OpenEdge 10.2A, as described in “Using

the Progress Administration Service for Journal Export” on page B-2 and
shown in Figure B-2 on page B-8, Stop the journal export database server,
as described above in “To Stop the Journal Export Database Server” on
page B-3.
2. From the Windows command prompt, do the following:
• Enter:
C:\> CD %cc800root%\4gl\database
C:\> cc8x_journ_init Target_Folder YES
Replace Target_Folder with the directory where the export database
resides.
The YES indicates that an existing export database may be overwritten
and is case-sensitive.
Example:
In this example both CCURE800 and ENReports are on the D: drive.
C:\>D:
D:\> CD CCURE800\4gl\Database
D:\CCURE800\4gl\Database> cc8x_journ_init D:\ENReports YES

the Progress Administration Service for Journal Export” on page B-2,
click Start to restart the journal export database server.

Initializing a Second C•CURE Journal Export Database
The following procedure describes how to initialize a second (or subsequent)
export journal database. Configuring an additional export journal database
for enhanced reporting is done within the Connection Manager Properties
(conmgr.properties) file. The following the procedure allows you to configure
multiple journal export databases.
To Initialize a Second (or Subsequent) C•CURE Journal Export Database
1. Create a folder on the hard drive where the new export database will
reside.
Example:
D:\ENReports2
2. From the Windows command line, do the following:

• Enter:
C:\> CD %cc800root%\4gl\database
C:\> cc8x_journ_init Target_Folder
NO
Target_Folder is replaced with the directory where the new export

database resides.
The NO indicates that any existing export database cannot be
overwritten (this is a safety precaution). NO is also case-sensitive.
Example:
In this example both CCURE800 and ENReports2 are on the D: drive.
C:\>D:
D:\> CD CCURE800\4gl\Database
D:\CCURE800\4gl\Database> cc8x_journ_init D:\ENReports2 NO
3. Run the following command to create CC8x_Journ2 database by

copying the newly created CC8x_journ database:
D:\CCURE800\4gl\database>procopy D:\Enreports2\cc8x_journ
D:\Enreports2\cc8x_journ2
4. In the Windows Services file, add a service or port name for the new
database server. This file is usually in:
c:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\services (the file has no

extension).
a. Find the entry for ERDBSRV and copy it.
b. Change the service name to ERDBSRV2, and increment the port
number by one (from 2900 to 2901, e.g.). The new entry should be
as follows:
ERDBSRV2 2901/tcp # CCURE800: Enhanced Reporting
database (CC8X_Journ)
When C•CURE 800/8000 activates a new journal, the ODBC Data Source
NOTE
must be updated so that the Database Name refers to the new journal
filename, and the Port Number refers to the new service name.
5. In the hard disk drive directory where C•CURE 800/8000 has been
installed, go to the CCURE800DLC10 folder, shown in Figure B-2 on
page B-8.
6. Open the Properties folder and double-click the Connection Manager

Properties (conmgr.properties) file, and choose Select the program
from a list and click OK. To open conmgr.properties, choose Notepad
and click OK. Save a renamed copy of the Connection Manager
Properties file, as a backup.

Figure B-2: Progress C•CURE 800DLC10
7. Close the saved copy and reopen the original conmgr.properties file,
shown in Figure B-3 on page B-9.
8. Notice that there are three configuration sections in the Connection
Manager Properties file. Copy and paste each section - one below the
other - as shown outlined with dashed lines in Figure B-4 on page B-10.
Figure B-3: Progress C•CURE 800DLC10 - conmgr.properties - Original Source File
9. Next, modify identifiers in the configuration.CC8x_Journ journal

Properties file, as shown in the example in Figure B-4 on page B-10 and
the text examples below:
Examples:
a. [configuration.cc8x_journ.defaultconfiguration] to
[configuration.cc8x_journ2.defaultconfiguration]
b. database=cc8x_journ to database=cc8x_journ2
c. servergroups=cc8x_journ.defaultconfiguration.defaultservergroup to
servergroups=cc8x_journ2.defaultconfiguration.defaultservergroup
10. Rename the database.CC8x_Journ journal export database identifier

within the second section of the Connection Manager Properties file, as
shown in the example in Figure B-4 on page B-10 and the text
examples below:

Examples:
a. [database.cc8x_journ] to [database.cc8x_journ2]
b. configurations=cc8x_journ.defaultconfiguration to
configurations=cc8x_journ2.defaultconfiguration
c. displayname=CC8X_Journ to displayname=CC8X_Journ2
Figure B-4: Progress C•CURE 800DLC10 - conmgr.properties - Modified Source File
11. Rename the servergroup.CC8x_Journ journal export database server

group and port name identifiers within the third section of the
Connection Manager Properties file, as shown in the Figure B-4 example
and the text samples below:
Examples:
a. [servergroup.cc8x_journ.defaultconfiguration.defaultservergroup] to
[servergroup.cc8x_journ2.defaultconfiguration.defaultservergroup]
b. configuration=cc8x_journ.defaultconfiguration to
configuration=cc8x_journ2.defaultconfiguration
c. port=erdbsrv to port=erdbsrv2
12. Save the modified Connection Manager Properties file.

the Progress Administration Service for Journal Export” on page B-2,
click Start to restart the journal export database server.
14. Create an ODBC DSN for the new database and test it, as described in
the next instruction set (“To Create an ODBC Data Source Name for
Enhanced Reporting”).
15. From the C•CURE 800/8000 Administration application create a
new journal export object for this database.
To Create an ODBC Data Source Name for Enhanced Reporting
1. Select the Control Panel and Administrative Tools from the Windows
Start menu.
Figure B-5: Selecting Administrative Tools from the Control Panel
2. Double-click the Data Sources (ODBC) icon in the Administrative Tools

window (see Figure B-6 on page B-12).

Figure B-6: Selecting the Data Source (ODBC)
The ODBC Data Source Administrator window appears:
Figure B-7: ODBC Data Source Administrator - System DSN Tab
3. Select the System DSN tab and select the ProgressDB system DSN
(see Figure B-7).
4. Click the Add button. The Create New Data Source window appears
with a list of installed drivers see Figure B-8 on page B-13.
A data source name (DSN) specifies a data structure that contains the
information about a specific data source that an Open Database
Connectivity (ODBC) driver needs in order to connect to it.
Figure B-8: Select Progress OpenEdge 10.2A Driver
5. Select the Progress OpenEdge 10.2A Driver in the Create New Data
Source dialog box listing and click Finish. The ODBC Progress
OpenEdge Wire Protocol Driver Setup dialog box displays (as shown in
Figure B-9 on page B-14). To configure the ODBC Progress OpenEdge
10.2A Driver, see the next section (“To Set Up the Progress OpenEdge
10.2A Driver”).
To Set Up the Progress OpenEdge 10.2A Driver
1. In the General tab of the Progress OpenEdge 10.2A Driver Setup dialog
box enter field information as shown in Table B-3 and in Figure B-9 on
page B-14.
Table B-3: Progress OpenEdge 10.2A Driver Fields
Field Description
Data Source Name CFSRV (User-defined name of data source configuration, for example, CFSRV or any other name.)
Description: Optional description
Host Name Server where the database is located. You can enter localhost if the database is on the current server
Port Number 2901 (System TCP Port number for the Enhanced Reporting Journal.)

Field Description
Database Name cf (Name of database to which you want to connect.)
NOTE: Must be entered as lower case cf.
User ID Login ID (User Name) to connect to the Database, such as sysprogress or odbcuser
Figure B-9: ODBC Progress OpenEdge 10.2A Driver Setup
2. Click Test Connect to try to connect to the data source using the
connection properties you configured.
If the ODBC driver is able to connect to the data source, it displays a
Connection Established! message.
3. Click OK. The ODBC Progress Driver Setup window reappears.
4. Click Apply.
To Configure Advanced Driver Settings
1. Click the Advanced tab to access the Advanced Progress OpenEdge

10.2A Driver settings.
2. On the Advanced tab, as shown in Figure B-10, select READ
COMMITTED in the Default Isolation Level field to prevent record
locking.
Figure B-10: Set READ COMMITTED in the OpenEdge 10.2A Driver - Advanced Tab
3. Enter a Fetch Array Size (the default value is 50).
4. The Enable Timestamp with Time Zone check box is selected by default.
5. You may also choose to select the Use Wide Character Types. This check
box is not selected by default.
6. Click OK to close the ODBC Progress Driver Setup window and set the
values you entered as the default values when you connect to the data
source.
7. The active data source appears in the ODBC Data Source Administrator
window (see Figure B-11 on page B-16) accessed from the Windows
Control Panel>Administrative Tools.
Figure B-11: Active Data Source in ODBC Data Source Administrator - System DSN Tab
The ODBC Data Source Administrator - System DSN tab lists all system
Data Source Names including that name and associated driver of each DSN.
Double-clicking a system DSN displays the driver-specific data source setup
dialog box.
If necessary, you can change the default values using this same procedure to
reconfigure your data source. You can also override the default values by
connecting to the data source using a connection string with alternative
values.
To prevent record locking, set READ COMMITTED in the Default Isolation

Level field on the Progress OpenEdge 10.2A Driver Advanced Tab. Do not
override the READ COMMITTED default setting.
Software House recommends that two separate DSNs be created, one used for
writing to the database, where the DSN would be setup as Read Committed
(as shown above in “To Configure Advanced Driver Settings” on page B-14),
and another DSN setup as Read Uncommitted to be used for reporting.
You can also set the isolation level in a Transact-SQL command in the
Windows command shell, using SQL Explorer in character mode. Please
refer to the section in the C•CURE 800/8000 ODBC Configuration Guide,
entitled: SQL Statements to Set Database Isolation Levels, for more
information.
