Installing Cognos® reports
for WebSphere® Message
Broker Monitoring agent includes
installing agent-specific reports, configuring Cognos data source, and creating Tivoli® Reporting and Analytics Model (TRAM)
dimensions. The Cognos reports
for WebSphere Message
Broker Monitoring agent must
be installed on Tivoli Common
Reporting server.
A report package for the WebSphere Message

to install Cognos reports
depending on the database type of Tivoli Data
Warehouse:
- DB2® and SQL Server: ITCAM_Agents_for_WebSphere_Messaging_v71
- Oracle: ITCAM_Agents_for_WebSphere_Messaging_v71_for_Oracle
- If the report package folder is on a remote system, do
one of the steps depending on the operating system where the Tivoli Common Reporting server
is installed:
- Windows: Map the
remote folder to a local drive.
- Systems other than Windows:
Mount the remote system.
- In the report package folder, do
one of the following steps to start the installation program
- Windows: Double-click
the setup_windows.exe file.
- Systems other than Windows:
Run the setup_<platform>.bin file.
- Select the language of the installation program and click OK.
- In the Welcome window, click Next.
- In the Choose the Installation Folder window,
specify the path to the Tivoli Common
Reporting component directory and click Next.
Important: After this step, you cannot step back
to this window to change the installation folder again. If you want
to change the installation folder afterwards, cancel the installation
program and start it again from Step

installation is complete. For instructions about how to configure
a data connection, see Tivoli Common

provide all required database information to create TRAM dimensions
and click Next.
Important: The

access to delete the IBM_TRAM schema related objects and re-create
them.
Remember: Do not skip this step, otherwise,
you must manually add TRAM dimensions, which are required for running Cognos reports and using the
data model.
