Cognos data model generation
Agent Builder can generate a Cognos data model for each agent. Use the data model to import agent information into the Cognos Framework Manager for report creation.
This Cognos data model can be opened and viewed in the Framework Manager, which builds a model package to be published into Tivoli Common Reporting. The data model can also be customized or modified within the Framework Manager before publication.
When a report is created, Agent Builder also allows for a final report package to be imported into the Agent Builder project. This feature enables future agent projects to be generated with the reports that are already part of the agent package. The reports that are packaged as part of the agent installation image can be imported into Tivoli Common Reporting in your production environment.
In this documentation, note the following convention:
- Kxx or kxx refers to the product code given to the agent, for example, k99.
- dbType refers to the database that is being used by the Tivoli Data Warehouse, for example, DB2.
- Prerequisites to generating a Cognos data model
Complete these tasks before you generate a Cognos data model

Use the Framework Manager to publish the agent model, and Report Studio to begin creating reports.
