SQL Server views are similar to tables in SQL. Views can be considered virtual tables that aggregate data from multiple tables. They dynamically generate their data when the view is referenced. Microsoft System Center DPM includes a number of SQL views in the DPM database by default. This allows the DPM administrator to generate custom reports. SQL Reporting Services and Report Builder are used to generate these custom DPM reports. Once the custom DPM reports have been generated, they can be saved and reused.
