Creating Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data models

Creating a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model for Common Reporting on Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager requires these Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager - Application Studio components.

Use WirelessModelling tool to extract the required metadata from a technology pack or from the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager database. WirelessModelling tool outputs the metadata in a Common Intermediate Format (CIF) file (.tnpmmodel) that serves as the input for CreateModel tool.
Use CreateModel tool to generate a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model built from the metadata in the CIF file, and all remaining artifacts in the required directory structure for the model contents.
Finally, use Framework Manager to browse to the model contents and publish the model in the Tivoli Common Reporting component of the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager system.

Overview of creating Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model for Wireless pack modelers
Wireless pack modelers can follow these steps to create Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data models. Each step points to other topics for more detailed information.
Creating a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model containing a raw data model
You can extract raw data counters from a technology pack. You can then create a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model containing a model that report authors can use to create reports by using those raw data counters.
Creating a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model containing a summary definitions model
On Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager - Wireless component, you can extract the summary definitions associated with a particular technology pack from the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager database. You can then create a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model containing a model that report authors can use to create reports by using those summary definitions.
Creating a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model containing a busy hour definitions model
On Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager - Wireless component, you can extract the busy hour definitions associated with a particular technology pack from the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager database. You can then create a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model containing a model that report authors can use to create reports by using those busy hour definitions.
Data model filtering
By default, all of the performance metrics and summary and busy hour intervals for a particular technology pack are available to be included in a data model for reporting. When creating a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model, it is recommended to filter these metrics to ensure that only metrics that you need to report on are deployed.
Creating a model properties file
You can create a model properties file from the sample file provided or create your own file. Name the new model properties file according to your model and update the values in the file as appropriate.
Generating the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model contents
Generate the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model contents by running the createmodel.bat command on a model properties file, a Common Intermediate Format (CIF) file (.tnpmmodel).
Publishing a Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager common pack data model
In IBM® Cognos® Framework Manager, you can publish a package to any folder on Tivoli Common Reporting server.
