Using Unified CCX Historical Reports
You can use a web browser to administer the Cisco CRS Engine and your Cisco CRS applications from 
any computer on the network. You can use the Cisco CRS administration web interface to start and stop 
the Cisco CRS Engine, configure system parameters, monitor Cisco CRS Engine activity, and view 
real-time and historical reports that include total system activity and application statistics. This chapter 
provides information on configuring the database connection for to facilitate historical reports and 
scheduling details for users. 
Note
The Unified CCX database is separate from the customer database. A customer database needs to 
purchased separately and stores basic client information such as name, telephone, type, and so forth. In 
order to query a database from a Unified CCX workflow, you need to have purchase premium licensing. 
Refer to the 
 for the list of supported database 
servers. 
The Cisco CRS historical reports system is designed to provide you with information about the call 
activities of your Cisco CRS system. With Cisco CRS Historical Reports, you can perform the following 
functions:
  •
View, print, and save reports. 
  •
Sort and filter reports. 
  •
Send scheduled reports to a file or to a printer. 
  •
Export reports in a variety of formats, including Portable Document Format (PDF), Microsoft Excel, 
Rich Text Format (RTF), Extensible Markup Language (XML), and comma-separated values 
(CSVs).
  •
Prepare custom reports using a variety of generally available 3rd party applications that are designed 
to create reports from databases.
Warning
You cannot run historical reports using the web browser. The historical report client viewer is a 
stand-alone Windows-based application. You must first download the plugin for client viewer 
from Cisco CRS, install it on a client machine (on a machine other than the CRS server), and then 
run reports from the client viewer. Refer to the Cisco CRS Historical Reports User Guide for 
more information.
Setting up Cisco CRS for historical reporting consists of three tasks:
1.
Configuring limits for client/scheduler database connections.
2.
Specifying users who can use historical reporting.
