Reporting

Data Validation Option provides several methods to create reports concerning tests that are executed. These are the methods:

Built-in reports: Basic reports can be generated directly from the Data Validation Client. These provide both summary and detailed execution reports for Data Validation Option jobs.
Jasper reports: Additionally, Data Validation Option includes a set of extensive dashboards and reports (over 20 in all) that are available from a browser via Jasper Reports Server Integration (Reporting and Dashboards Service in PowerCenter 9.x). These dashboards provide high-level perspectives on test results and allow a drill-down into the most detailed test results for any given run of any test by any user.
Custom reports: For customers that wish to build their own custom reports, the Data Validation Option repository has many views that can be leveraged via SQL or by reporting products like Tableau, QlikView, MicroStrategy, and so on.

Please see the Data Validation Option documentation for additional information regarding the differences between these reporting solutions.
