Configuring Tivoli Common Reporting
Tivoli® Common Reporting requires authenticated access to all its features. You can configure Tivoli Common Reporting to use basic authentication and single sign-on.
- Getting started with reports
You must set up your reporting environment before users can work with reports, for example, import packages, create data source connections, or create report packages. - Configuring Framework Manager connection
Framework Manager is a separately installable application used to model reports. If you installed it in a location different from the default one, you need to configure it to run with the Cognos-based Tivoli Common Reporting engine and user interface. This step is especially important if you installed Framework Manager on a separate computer. - Configuring Cube Designer connection
Cube Designer is a separately installable application used to model reports. If you installed it in a location different from the default one, you need to configure it to run with the Cognos-based Tivoli Common Reporting engine and user interface. This step is especially important if you installed Cube Designer on a separate computer. - Content Store setting in Cognos Configuration
This feature enables you to update the Content Store connection in Cognos® Configuration when a new Content Store database needs to be used. - Configuring database connections
Tivoli Common Reporting provides a new mode of connection called Dynamic Query Mode (DQM) along with the Compatible mode (using native database client). - Configuring distributed installation for load balancing
You can configure your reporting system to obtain higher performance and usability levels while running reports by adding another reporting engine system, and ensure failover. - Configuring security permissions
Increase the security settings for the Common Reporting user permissions. By default, all the users created, including the one specified during the installation process, have full administrative privileges in IBM® Cognos. You can modify the security permissions in Cognos Administration. - Configuring sample audit reports
Activate sample audit reports to view information about user and report activity.
