IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Required software and memory requirements for a reporting environment that uses Tivoli Common Reporting
If you are planning to use Tivoli Common Reporting and report packages that are provided with monitoring agents or custom reports for monitoring agents, first install and configure the Tivoli Data Warehouse.
You can install the reports for IBM Tivoli Monitoring Version 6.3 operating system agents with Tivoli Common Reporting 3.1 or 2.1.1. IBM Tivoli Monitoring V6.3 fix pack 2 includes Tivoli Common Reporting 3.1.0.1, so use version 3.1.0.1 when setting up a new reporting environment.
To upgrade an existing version of Tivoli Common Reporting version 2.x to version 3.1 or later, the upgrade is a side-by-side process that results in two instances of Tivoli Common Reporting in your environment. You can remove the earlier version after you finish setting up Tivoli Common Reporting 3.1 or later. To migrate reports, including any custom reports or report scheduling, from the 2.x version of Tivoli Common Reporting into the latest version, you must migrate the reporting data before installing the latest monitoring agent reports into Tivoli Common Reporting 3.1 or later.
Tivoli Common Reporting 3.1 or later is included with the Jazz for Service Management component. To use this version of Tivoli Common Reporting, install and configure the following Jazz for Service Management components if they are not already in your environment:
- IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.5.0.1
If you already have IBM WebSphere Application Server V8.0.0.2 or a later fix pack, V8.5.0.1 or a later fix pack, or V8.5.5.0 or a later fix pack in your environment, you can use it instead of installing WebSphere Application Server V8.5.0.1 from the Jazz for Service Management media. See Installing Jazz for Service Management
