Tivoli Common Reporting
The Tivoli Common Reporting topics have information that is unique to products that run on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal and use the Tivoli Data Warehouse as the source of historical data for generating reports. This information is intended for the administrator who sets up Tivoli Common Reporting and installs report packages for users.
To get up and running with reporting, complete the following task in the order provided:
- Ensure that historical reporting is enabled.
- Create and maintain the dimension tables.
- Connect to the Tivoli Data Warehouse using the database client over ODBC. You only need to setup this connection once.
- Import reports using the report installer.
- If you installed the OS agent reports, then you can run a prerequisite scan.
