Cisco Tomcat service

Cisco Unified Reporting runs as an application on the Cisco Tomcat service, which activates when you install Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service. Ensure that these products are running on all servers in the cluster.

HTTPS

The report subsystem gathers information from other servers by using an RPC mechanism via HTTPS. Ensure the HTTPS port is open and the Cisco Tomcat service is running on the server to successfully generate a report.

To access the application, you access the Administration interface in a browser window. Cisco Unified Reporting uses HTTPS to establish a secure connection to the browser.

Web browsers

Cisco Unified Reporting for Cisco Unified Communications Manager supports the following operating system browsers:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 7 when running on Microsoft Windows XP SP3
• Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 8 when running on Microsoft Windows XP SP3 or Microsoft Vista SP2
• Firefox 3.x when running on Microsoft Windows XP SP3, Microsoft Vista SP2 or Apple Mac OS X
• Safari 4.x when running on Apple Mac OS X

For the IM and Presence Service, use Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6.0 or a later release, or Mozilla Firefox version 3.0 or a later release to access the Cisco Unified IM and Presence Reporting interface. Other browsers are not supported.
