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.
For more information, see Tivoli Data Warehouse solutions.
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 includes Tivoli Common Reporting 3.1,
so you must use version 3.1 when to set up a new reporting environment. Tivoli Common Reporting 3.1 is
a 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
Note: If
you already have IBM WebSphere Application Server
V8.0.0.2 or a later fix pack or WebSphere Application
Server V8.5.0.1 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 the Jazz for
Service Management Installation Guide for more details on installing
into an existing WebSphere Application
Server.
- Jazz for Service Management
extension for IBM WebSphere
