This is overview of creating Common Pack and how to get started with it.
System software prerequisite
Please ensure that you fulfill these prerequisites before start creating Common Pack
a. Tivoli Netcool Performance Manager – Wireless Component 1.3.1 is installed.
b. Tivoli Common Reporting 2.1 is installed.
c. On the Tivoli Common Reporting server:
· The Oracle 10g client is installed.
· The Common Pack Service is installed.
· Java
d. Windows PC:
· IBM Cognos Framework Manager Version 8.4.1 is installed.
· The Oracle 10g client is installed.
· Model Maker IBM Cognos Edition
· Java
Please ensure that the Tivoli Common Reporting server and the Common Pack Service are running.
Technology Pack prerequisite
Please ensure that the Technology Pack is installed.
Base Common Pack (BCP) prerequisite
Use these guidelines to help you choose the appropriate dependent packs before start creating Common Pack.
Use the following table to map wireless Global Object Model (GOM) and GOMlet Technology Packs to Base Common Packs. And then include the appropriate Base Common Packs as dependents for you Common Pack
Note: Refer to the Model Maker Known Issues Technote to see the latest version of the BCPs available.

* Pack extensions, such as Neutral UMTS UTRAN Ext GOM 1.0, can be ignored when setting up the dependent packs
Create Common Pack Process Workflow
Steps:
1. Add Dependent Base Common Pack (BCP), to add BCP into repository (server) by using:
GUI - Model Maker Manager
or
Command Line Interface - CLI (Common Pack Service pack_admin command)
2. Activate Dependent Base Common Pack (BCP), database schemas are installed and the active version of pack is updated by using Model Maker Manager or CLI (Common Pack Service pack_admin command)
3. Download Dependent Base Common Pack (BCP), to download each pack from the Common Pack Service by using Model Maker Manager or CLI (Common Pack Service pack_admin command)
4. Generate CIF File - VS (raw, busyhour or summaries) / VN Tech Pack, use Model Maker Extractor to extract the required metadata from Technology Pack and outputs the metadata in a Common Intermediate Format (CIF) file that serves as the input for Model Maker Generator
5. Generate Cognos Model - VS (raw, busyhour or summaries) / VN Common Pack, use Model Maker Manager to generate a Cognos model built from the metadata in the required directory structure for common pack contents.
6. Create Common Pack JAR file, use Model Maker Manager to browse to the common pack contents and create a common pack JAR file.
7. Add Common Pack, to add Common Pack into repository (server)
8. Activate Common Pack), database schemas are installed and the active version of pack is updated.
9. Download Common Pack, to download each pack from the Common Pack Service before publishing to ensure that only the correctly activated common packs are published.
10. Publish Common Pack, to publish a common pack to the Tivoli Common Reporting server to make a Report Package available for reporting.
11. Calendar-refill, to populate the database calendar schema table for the TCR Time base common pack by using the Common Pack Service pack_admin command.
12. Data-refill, to populate the database schema tables by using the Common Pack Service pack_admin command
