Integrating with Tivoli Common Reporting

Edit online
Integrate Tivoli® Common Reporting with Cloud APM to generate reports on data that is collected by the Response Time Monitoring Agent, the Synthetic Playback agent, and the WebSphere® Applications agent.
Note: Tivoli Common Reporting is at end of service as of May 2020. Cognos Analytics 11.x is the replacement. For more information, see the following technote: How to install the IBM Cloud Application Performance Management reports in an IBM Cognos Analytics 11.x environment.

Reports are available only for Tivoli Common Reporting running on Linux and AIX systems. If you plan to integrate Tivoli Common Reporting with Cloud APM, use Tivoli Common Reporting V3.1.2.1 or V3.1.3 on Linux or AIX systems.

Tivoli Common Reporting V3.1.2.0 is included in Jazz® for Service Management V1.1.2.0. Jazz for Service Management V1.1.2.0 is a component of Tivoli Monitoring V6.3.0.7, which is provided with Cloud APM V8.1.4. You must install Fix Pack 1 of Jazz for Service Management V1.1.2, which upgrades Jazz for Service Management to V1.1.2.1 and upgrades Tivoli Common Reporting to V3.1.2.1. For the relevant eAssembly and eImage part numbers, see Part numbers.

Tivoli Common Reporting V3.1.3 is included in Jazz for Service Management V1.1.3. See the latest Jazz for Service Management Version 1.1.3.0 Knowledge Center.

To integrate Tivoli Common Reporting, you must complete the following tasks:

  1. Download and install Tivoli Common Reporting.
  2. Check that the Tivoli Common Reporting server is connected to the Cloud APM Db2® machine. If not, configure an ODBC connection between the Tivoli Common Reporting server and the Cloud APM Db2 machine.
  3. Configure the reports installation image to create the reports package.
  4. Install the reports package on the Tivoli Common Reporting server.
  5. Enable single sign-on between Cloud APM and Tivoli Common Reporting.
