Before you install Performance Management
reports, you need to configure the reports installation image to connect to the Performance Management server. When you complete the configuration, a reports
package for installation is created.
Before you begin
- Ensure that you configured the ODBC connection between the Tivoli® Common Reporting server and the Performance Management
DB2® machine. For details, see Configuring an ODBC connection.
- Download the reports image to your Performance Management server. For details, see Download instructions. The following reports installation
images are available depending on your offering:
- ipm_apm_reports_8.1.3.zip
- ipm_apm_advanced_reports_8.1.3.zip
- ipm_app_diag_reports_8.1.3.zip
- ipm_monitoring_reports_8.1.3.zip
Procedure
- Navigate to the Performance Management server installation
folder. The default installation folder is /opt/ibm/ccm.
- Decompress the .zip file and run the reports installation image
configuration script with root privileges:
./configure_reports_images.sh
- Enter 1 to confirm that you want to begin the installation.
- Enter the directory location where you downloaded the reports installation image. The Performance Management server password is
requested.
- When prompted, enter the password of the APM Administrator.
Important: This password is the password of the Internal
Performance Management smadmin user.
The smadmin password is the same as the apmadmin user password that you specified at installation.
The default value is
apmpass. If you cannot remember the smadmin password,
you can change it using the script that is described in the following topic:
Default users and passwords.
After you enter the correct password, the configuration script configures the reports
installation image and copies the reports package to another directory.
- Enter the directory where you want to store the reports package, or accept the default value of
/opt/ibm/ccm/depot. The IP address of the Performance Management server is
requested.
- Enter the IP address of the Performance Management server that
the Tivoli Common Reporting server communicates with for retrieving
data for reports. For more information about Tivoli Common Reporting, see
Downloading and installing Tivoli Common Reporting.
Results
A message is displayed indicating the directory where the
reports installation package is available.
The reports installation package is available in the directory that you specified in step 6. The reports installation package has the same name as the reports installation image that
you downloaded. For example, if you downloaded
ipm_apm_advanced_reports_8.1.3.zip and completed the configuration
successfully, the ipm_apm_advanced_reports_8.1.3.zip reports installation
package is available in the directory you specified in step 6.
