Generating data availability components

Using the properties file that has a list of tables, you can now generate the data availability formulas and the summaries in data availability model.

Before you begin

Ensure that the following prerequisites are complete:

Procedure

  1. In WirelessModelling tool, open the tnpmmodel file that you have created from the raw model.
  2. Right-click TNPM Package and select Data Coverage Utilities > Generate Data Coverage components.
  3. Click Browse in the Filter file field to locate the properties file you have created earlier. This file is the output file that contains the list of table names.
  4. Select Table in the Metric names based on list.
  5. Select the number of tables from Number of tables for each summary definition between 10 to 25.
    Note: If the number selected is not between 10 to 25, the generated da_summary.xml and da_udcs.xml files will be empty.
  6. Click Next.
  7. Select File System and locate the output directory where you want to generate the user defined calculations (UDCs) and summary XML files.
  8. Click Finish. If the console is open, you can see the execution. To see the console view, select Window > Show view > other > General > Console.

    If you receive an error message that is related to summary name that exceeds 24 characters, see the workaround inManually edit the summary name in a data availability model if the summary name exceeds 24 characters.

Results

You can find the da_summary.xml and da_udcs.xml files in the output directory.
da_udcs.xml
This file contains the generated data availability UDCs.
da_summary.xml
This file contains the summaries that include these UDCs at the appropriate resource type level.
These UDCs and summaries must be provisioned to the Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager Wireless system.
