Common Reporting (Cognos)
Beta 2 Demo
Features List
– vNext compliant data models for MSCS, BizTalk, .NET, HIS and SP agents
– Introduced prerequisite scanner reports in all 11 agents
– Added 24 new cognos reports
vNext Compliant Data Model : We have planned vNext compliant datamodels for all 11 agents in this release. Till now we have modified models for MSCS,
BizTalk, .NET, HIS and SP agents. These data-models are enhanced for the new
attribute groups and attributes introduced in agents in the current release.
Modified for the
new attribute
groups/attribute
s added in the
current release
NOTE: Development for the vNext compliant data-models for the remaining 6 agents is in
progress.

NOTE: Development of New reports for the remaining 6 agents is in progress.
Security Calls Details report: Displays the unauthorized and
unauthenticated failed security calls for the three types of service models: Service,
Operation and Endpoint, across the servers.
Request Status Summary by Server Name report: Displays
the overall request performance by different ASP .NET applications.
Top .NET Applications by Performance for Multiple Resources report:
Displays the time spent by all applications in garbage collection, the number of
exceptions thrown, and the runtime code access security checks on different servers..
Prerequisite Scanner reports: We have introduced prerequisite
scanner reports for all 11 agents in vNext release. The reports are –
– IIS Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– MSCS Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– HV Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– BizTalk Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– Lync Server Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– Active Directory Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– .NET Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– HIS Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– SP Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– SQL Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
– Exchange Agent Reports Prerequisites Scanner
NOTE: The prerequisite scanner reports are updated for the new predefined reports introduced
in vNext release for MSCS, BizTalk, .NET, HIS and SP agents. The scanner reports for the
remaining agents will be updated once new predefined reports are ready for these agents.
Prerequisite Scanner
 Provides a prerequisite scanner that checks if the list of all tables/views needed to
run the predefined reports are available in the Tivoli Data Warehouse.
 Points you to appropriate documentation which can be helpful in enabling historical
collection and summarization and pruning, creating IBM_TRAM schema, Time
Dimension and other shared dimensions and populating Time dimension.
Consider a few use cases like :
 How will a user find out if his warehouse has all the tables/views needed to run a
report?
 While running a predefined report, user encounter an error like :
"RQP-DEF-0177 An error occurred while performing operation 'sqlPrepareWithOptions‘
status='-201'. UDA-SQL-0196 The table or view "ITMUSER.KQFSERMSER_DV" was not found
in the dictionary. "
In such cases, user will use this Prerequisite Scanner report. This report will run against
DB2/Oracle/SQL database to check if all the prerequisite tables/views are available in the
TDW.
in spite of having all the prerequisite tables/views in the TDW, user may not be able to run
the reports due to insufficient data in the warehouse. For instance, this may happen if
he/she does not have adequate timestamps generated for the Time Dimension. The
documentation provided will help him in running the appropriate database scripts to
populate the tables.
Prerequisite Scanner (Continued…)
1. Database Type can be as DB2 OR Oracle OR SQL
2. Report Type as Show falling sections
only (reports for which no table or view exists in
TDW) OR Show all sections ( for all reports)
3. Summarization Type as Hourly, Daily,
Weekly and so on OR All
Prerequisites for TCR Shared
dimensions like
WEEKDAY_LOOKUP,
MONTH_LOOKUP etc.
Legend

Prerequisite Scanner (Continued…)
Lists all the prerequisite tables/views and shows a status against each of them.
