Configuring the BIRT report

You can use Utilization BIRT report to generate reports based on the data collected by the IBM® Tivoli® Utilization sensor.

About this task

Important: Configuring the Utilization BIRT report is only possible if you have BIRT Report Viewer enabled. BIRT Report Viewer is disabled because of security issues. The alternative way to view the BIRT reports is by using the Tivoli Common Reporting (TCR) after you import the Agile Service Manager reports to TCR. If you are aware of the risks, you can restore BIRT Report Viewer.

The steps 1, 2 and 4 are specific to BIRT Report Viewer. If you are viewing reports by using TCR, you must specify values for the parameters as in the step 3.

Procedure

To configure the Utilization BIRT report complete the following steps in the Data Management Portal:

  1. Click Analytics > BIRT Reports.
    The TADDM BIRT Reports window is displayed.
  2. Select TADDM_SERVER_UTILIZATION report and click Run Report.

    If you specified an operator, and it requires two values, you must specify a corresponding value for the second value. Otherwise, select N/A to display all data for the selected metric.
    Number of application dependencies
    The number of application dependencies is used to restrict the data displayed in the report. Specify the number of application dependencies, or select N/A to display all data for the selected metric.
