IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Import reports through the Dashboard Application Services Hub
Use the Dashboard Application Services Hub user interface to import reports for the Tivoli Monitoring OS agents.
The monitoring agent report models are based on IBM Cognos. You must have Tivoli Common Reporting V3.1 (with Cognos engine) installed and running on the computer on which you install the reports. You must also have created and populated the dimensions tables as instructed in Create and populating the time dimensions tables and Create and populating the resource dimension table, and connected to the data warehouse as described in Connecting to the Tivoli Data Warehouse using the database client over ODBC.
Restriction: This import method can be used for Cognos reports only.
You must obtain a report package you want to work with. You can download packages from the IBM Integrated Service Management Library, or you can create one using the Content Administrator interface. All the packages you want to import must be stored in the TCR_component_dir\cognos\deployment directory.
Procedure
- Launch the Dashboard Application Services Hub administrative console and log in.
- Go to Common Reporting.
- In the Work with reports window on the right, click Administration from the Launch drop-down list.
- Go to Configuration tab, and open the Content Administration section.
- Create a new package import by clicking Import, which opens a New Import wizard.
- Follow the wizard to import a new package.

OS Agent Reports are now installed on the Tivoli Common Reporting server.
