If you have an existing App-V reporting server, create a customized scheduled task or script. Specify that the client sends the data to the specified location at the desired frequency.

If you do not have an existing App-V reporting Server, use the –URL parameter to send the data to a specified share. For example:

Send-AppVClientReport –URL \\Myshare\MyData\ -DeleteOnSuccess

The previous example will send the reporting data to \\MyShare\MyData\ location indicated by the -URL parameter. After the data has been sent, the cache is cleared.

-Note   +Note

If a location other than the Reporting Server is specified, the data is sent using .xml format with no additional processing.
