Here is some download information for TSM operational reporting.

Documentation:

Note that the PowerPoint presentation (same one that's been available)
located with the migration tool ref below is still a good source of
info.  The readme that goes with the 5.2.2 (tsmrept_readme.txt)
version is a good source and so is the online help that goes with the
migration tool - has some useful QA's. Operational reporting is also
covered in the quick start and admin guide for 5.2.2 available at:

http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/tividd/td/IBMTivoliStorageManagerforWindows5.2.2.html

Download Information:

Operational reporting is included with TSM 5.2.2 as part of the
Windows TSM server packaging.  You can get it via the tivoli web site
under the 5.2.2 windows downloads or directly from the ftp site at:

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/server/v5r2/WIN/LATEST/

The standalone operational reporting package is named
tsmcon5220_win.exe.  It is also included in the TSM Windows server and
Windows storage agent packages.  If operational reporting is to run on
the same machine as a TSM Windows server or storage agent you'll need
to upgrade the server or storage agent to 5.2.2 as (unlike the beta)
the standalone version can't be installed on the same machine as a TSM
server or storage agent. If you want to install operational reporting
on any other windows machine you should install the standalone version.

NOTE: The TSM 5.2.2.2 patch includes fixes a nested HTML table problem,
color coding in client schedule section, and text formatting issues. You
may want to apply this patch or just install it to begin with.

Migration:

If you have been using the beta or technology preview version of
operational reporting there is a migration tool available at the
following location.

ftp://service.boulder.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/techprev/tsmopreport/latest/

The migration package is named tsmmigrate.exe and there is a
readme_migrate.txt file there too that describes how to get started.
When you start the migration tool a detailed help file will be
displayed that covers details as well as some common questions and
answers - including a good description of using the windows scheduler
to get better scheduling granularity.
