About migrating reports

If you have custom reports in an existing Netcool Configuration Manager installation, and are integrating with Network Manager, which has its own Tivoli Common Reporting solution, you migrate your custom reports from the stand-alone to the integrated version of Tivoli Common Reporting.

The report migration procedure is different for single and multiple server integrations.
If you are installing Netcool Configuration Manager and Network Manager on the same server
  1. Export the custom reports from the existing Netcool Configuration Manager version of Tivoli Common Reporting and copy them to a safe location.
    Note: You export your custom reports before installing Network Manager to prevent the existing reports from being overwritten.
  2. Disable and uninstall the existing Netcool Configuration Manager version of Tivoli Common Reporting.
  3. Install Network Manager and integrate it with the existing version of Netcool Configuration Manager as documented.
  4. Import the custom reports into the Network Manager version of Tivoli Common Reporting.
If you are installing Netcool Configuration Manager and Network Manager on different servers
  1. Install Network Manager and integrate it with the existing version of Netcool Configuration Manager as documented.
  2. Export the custom reports from the existing Netcool Configuration Manager version of Tivoli Common Reporting and copy them to the Network Manager server.
  3. Import the custom reports into the Network Manager version of Tivoli Common Reporting.
  4. Disable the existing Netcool Configuration Manager version of Tivoli Common Reporting.
