IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Run a prerequisites scan
The OS Agents Report Prerequisites Scanner report provided by the OS agents report package, allows you to check your system’s prerequisites for using the IBM Tivoli Monitoring OS Agent reporting solution and Tivoli Common Reporting. Run this health check report for an overview of your prerequisites and to verify that your dimensions tables are available.
A DataSource connection must be defined in Tivoli Common Reporting to connect to the Tivoli Data Warehouse for this report to work.
For DB2 on z/OS, you must establish a connection and grant the required privileges. Run the following commands from the DB2_install_dir/version/bnd directory:
db2 bind @ddcsmvs.lst SQLERROR CONTINUE BLOCKING ALL GRANT PUBLIC db2 grant select on SYSIBM.SYSVIEWS to USER1
The OS Agents Report Prerequisites Scanner report returns data on the following areas:
- Prerequisites for Tivoli Common Reporting Shared Dimensions
- Prerequisites for IBM Tivoli Monitoring Shared Dimensions
- Prerequisites by report
If your system is configured correctly, the time dimensions will report as satisfied. If a report set returns as unsatisfied, you can dismiss this if it pertains to a report set you do not wish to collect.
Limitation: When using reporting in your national language, some text strings display in only English.
Procedure
- From the Tivoli Common Reporting Navigator tree, select Public Folders → IBM Tivoli Monitoring OS Agents Reports → Prerequisites Validation → OS Agents Report Prerequisites Scanner report.
- Select between the two available report types:
- Show all sections: This option shows all sections, including failing (unsatisfied prerequisites), and success (satisfied prerequisites).
- Show failing sections only: This option shows only sections with failing (unsatisfied prerequisites).
- Review the returned report information. Take any actions needed to resolve any unsatisfied prerequisites. Read the returned information in the Legend tables and look in the Status and Details columns for summary information.
What to do next
When viewing your report, in the Details column, you can click on to view the Table Details report for additional information.The Table Details report can only be accessed from clicking the icon in the Details column. If you try to run the report directly from Public Folders → IBM Tivoli Monitoring OS Agents Reports → Prerequisites Validation → Table Details, you will receive an error.
