Automatic creation of custom reports via tools

Hi All,

Here is a question/thought for all you DPA peep out there.Currently we use DPA to create reports for backups for our customers.

The process per customer can take up to 2 hours and is labourious and time consuming.

Has anyone used external manipulation of the DPA DB  ? or via the DPA GUI using tools such as Autoit ( or other macro type tools).The idea is too reduce the creation time down to minutes rather than hours.

Interested in other peoples ideas.

Regards

Eliot
