Its unfortunate that the Op Reporting has gone, prior to the Op Reporting there
use to be a package called Tivoli Data Wherehouse that would report on Tiovoli,
again a monsterous footprint (db2, webshephe cognos). We eventually ended up
buying Bocada's Backup Reporting product as you could hire a FTE to develop
reports from scratch. We have been trying tio use the Common Reporter for
Fastback but it contunially fails and IBM can't seem to resolve the issue as
we've jhad a PMR open for 6+ months ...

yes Tuncel you are correct. I looked into BIRT because Tivoli Common
Reporting was using it.
However IBM's product has a considerable resource requirements and footprint
and because it is the common reporting component for all of the Tivoli line it
has to be all things to all men.
My goals are much less ambitious, basically a light weight reporting tool for
current TSM data, and will hopefully run on the same class of hardware as TSM
OR does now.
Regards
Steve.
