Special Features & Functions

There are several special features and functions available for jobs and job components with which Access Analyzer users should be familiar.

View XML Files

Job, query, analysis, and action property windows all have the View XML option. These provide the ability to edit through an XML text window.

Open Explore Folder

Access Analyzer users can directly open a selected job or job group folder from the Jobs tree using the Explore Folder option in the right-click menu.

Publish Reports after Report Generation

Reports that have been generated but not published can be sent to the Web Console using the Publish option in the right-click menu from the selected Jobs tree, job group, or job node. See the Publish Reports Window topic for additional information.

Job Configuration Change Tracking

Jobs configuration changes can be tracked using the Changes option in the right-click menu from the selected Jobs tree, job group, or job node. See the Changes Window topic for additional information.

Job Export

Jobs can be exported to a ZIP file using the Export option in the right-click menu from the selected job group or job node. See the Export Job to Zip Archive Window topic for additional information.

See the Jobs Tree Right-click Menus section for additional features.

Export Job to Zip Archive Window​

The Export Job to Zip Archive window opens from the Export option in the right-click menu from the selected job group or job node.

Export from Jobs Tree menu

Select Export from the right-click menu to open the Export Group to Zip Archive window.

Export Group to Zip Archive window

The Include all job components option will zip the job’s directory, the reports, the job log, and the SA_Debug log. The Select specific components to export option allows Access Analyzer users to select which components to include in the ZIP file.

There are two options for where to save the ZIP file:

  • Save in the exported folder – Saves the file in the job’s directory, for example %sainstalldir%Jobs\GROUP_.Active Directory Inventory\.Active Directory Inventory.zip
  • Save in the following location – Allows you to either type or browse to the desired save location

The Email this archivecheckbox provides the opportunity to send an email notification with the attached ZIP file.

Support Email window

When the archive has been created, the Access Analyzer Support Email window opens. By default, the recipient is set to Netwrix Support but it can be modified prior to sending. Additional recipients can be added, and the Subject and email body can be modified.

The Publish Reports wizard allows you to better manage the list of reports published to the Web Console.
