"Tivoli Monitoring for TSM" (the monitoring and analysis tool that uses
Cognos) is no longer mentioned in anything about Spectrum Protect 8.1.
There is a tiny note that Tivoli Monitoring for TSM V7 can monitor a
Spectrum Protect V8 server, but that's all.

Has this feature been deprecated? (i.e. Could it be unwise to start
using it now if we've never used it before?)

Has this feature been combined into the new 8.1 Operations Center?

Has this feature been spun off as a separate product?

We are trying to figure out a future course here as we plan for 8.1. We
currently use IBM SPSS for this purpose, as we have since the product
was called WDSF, then ADSM, and TSM, and had planned on migrating to
Tivoli Monitoring/Cognos. But now I'm thinking of just keeping our
substantial base of SPSS procedures for monitoring, long-term trends,
and the like. As a university, we will always be licensed for IBM SPSS
for academic research. Sticking with our homebrewed SPSS procedures
might be better future-proofing if the Tivoli Monitoring/Cognos feature
is going away at some point.

Servergraph is always a possibility, but the cost has been prohibitive.

I cannot find any information about this. Either I'm missing something
obvious, or there really is not much happening here.
