Hi,

The way you would want to do this would be:

1) Save the ClientName.csv file with the name of the clients in a location which can be accessed from any PC. Often customers will use the reports sub-directory on the DPA server (e.g. \webapps\root\reports) as this is accessible via the built in DPA web-server.

2) This file has only one column with the name of 3 clients (just for the test).

3) Created the report using the default Backup Client Config Report as source.

4) Added the External/ReadCSVFile source to the report

5) Set the READCSVFile source as follow:

Cast String: Text

Field String: Client

Filename: C:\Program Files\EMC\DPA\webapps\root\reports\ClientName.csv

Key String: True

Separator: ,

Please note I have changed the Field String name so that it matches the name of the client field in the Backup Client Config data source.

6) Add a Join operator to join both sources and only return those clients which are in the csv file.

Thanks

David
