Well, I’m not a proper administrator, that’s the thing, I’m relatively new to BusinessObjects and we have this sandpit environment that I’ve been given administrator access to in order to familiarise myself better with R3 and its functionality.
I use it mostly for content migration and organisation, but I don’t really administer it in the full sense of the word.
The reason why I’m asking for this is because I was commissioned to find an easy way to monitor the CMS and the space on the servers occupied, I do have administrator access to several CMC’s (primarily because I need to be able to export data from there) but not to the server machines themselves, where the FileStore resides.
My only option seems to be to monitor the Input and Output servers, as I’m supposed to achieve all this at no additional cost (therefore any 3rd party tools, however good and inexpensive are out of the question, otherwise the products on the savethecms.com look pretty good).
My manager wants to be able to monitor the space growth independently of the DBA’s and the people looking after BusinessObjects. We’re a big company and it will be very time saving.
Anyway, thanks a lot for the replies, I’ll consider my options, this seems like a pretty good tool, only you can’t really see how much space you have occupied on your system, unless you pull literally every document there, hence why I’m asking this question.
Kind regards,
Nawar
