Tivoli Data Warehouse

Tivoli Data Warehouse, an optional component of Tivoli Management Services, is a long-term data store for the performance and analysis data collected by the monitoring agents. The Warehouse Proxy agent periodically receives data from the hub monitoring server or from the monitoring agents and inserts the data into the Tivoli Data Warehouse. On a z/OS® system, short-term history data for monitoring agents is maintained in data sets allocated and initialized during product configuration. The Warehouse Proxy agent receives the short-term history data and delivers it to the warehouse.

Two specialized agents interact with the Tivoli Data Warehouse:

The Warehouse Proxy agent receives the short-term history data and delivers it to the Tivoli Data Warehouse.
You can use the Summarization and Pruning agent to customize how long to save (pruning) and how often to aggregate (summarization) the data in the Tivoli Data Warehouse database.

The Tivoli Data Warehouse, the Warehouse Proxy agent, and the Summarization and Pruning agent can run on Windows, AIX®, Solaris, or Linux® systems. The Tivoli Data Warehouse can also run on z/OS.
