Export device lists to SQL database views

HP Web Jetadmin collects data from devices and stores the data in SQL database tables. Device
lists display the data the user requires in columns that can be sorted or filtered. Device data can
be exported to .csv or .xml files for viewing and manipulating in applications such as Microsoft
Excel.

Device data can be displayed in canned or custom reports that HP Web Jetadmin generates to
meet user needs. In addition, this same data can be written to SQL database views and accessed
by asset and reporting tools if the optional Database Views license is installed. Data in the
following areas can be written to the database views in HP Web Jetadmin:
• Data exports
• Reports data collections
