Hi All

TSM Operational Reporting has been useful for a long time, but is now
something of an unwanted orphan.  It has significant limitations,
particularly in that it can only support a limited number of reports,
the ability to customize is limited and it presents a server-by-server
view of things.

For quite a while I have been toying with replacements, most of which
have been dead ends.  Eventually I have settled upon BIRT as a reporting
engine, and believe this has some merit.  I knocked together a basic but
still impressive Client Schedule report with just a couple of hours
effort having never used the tool before.

I can't justify developing this in company time, but I am very keen to
continue so I am starting an open-source project to take this further.

It may come to nothing, but, if anyone is interested in joining-in in
any capacity with this, or even just to express an interest in any
eventual outcome, please email me at tsmrptsig AT gmail DOT com

Regards

Steve
