Failure Report

This report lists the failed events (launch, distribution, uninstall, and cache) that have been logged to the database.

The database includes only the events you've chosen to log. To enable reporting for an application, right-click the Application object, click Properties, click the Common tab, click Reporting, select the events you want logged to the database, then click OK. Because reporting is configured on a per-application basis, you need to repeat these steps for each application whose events you want reported.

To generate the report, select Failure Advanced Report, then click Run Selected Report. The resulting report includes the following information for each failed event recorded in the database. You can also generate a Failure Advanced Report that includes more information.
