Reporting

You can create and add custom reports to the Data Management Portal using external report viewers, JSP report viewers, or the BIRT reporting system.

External report viewers
You use an external report viewer to run an external program that generates a report. The external program uses the TADDM API through a command line to access data. The report is then shown in the user interface.
JSP report viewers
A JSP report viewer provides additional flexibility and security for users who have knowledge of Java™ Server Pages (JSP) authoring. The reporting logic, including any API access, is placed in a JSP page that is then rendered by the Data Management Portal. When using JSP report viewers, security credentials are automatically inherited from the logged in user.
Reporting with Tivoli Common Reporting
As viewing BIRT reports in BIRT Report Viewer is not safe and is disabled by default, you can import the BIRT reports for TADDM into Tivoli® Common Reporting. It enables cross-product reporting that includes TADDM data. You can also use Tivoli Common Reporting features such as report scheduling, or use Tivoli Common Reporting as a central repository for reports.
Reporting with IBM Cognos Analytics
You can import TADDM model in IBM® Cognos® Analytics 11 and create custom reports using it against the TADDM database. There are predefined Cognos reports available in TADDM which can also be imported in IBM Cognos Analytics. You can also use IBM Cognos Analytics features such as report scheduling or use it as a central repository for reports.
Reporting with BIRT
You can use the Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT) reporting feature to run predefined and custom reports based on data from the TADDM database.
