Works with standard, out of the box Tivoli product reports that visualize key metrics and trends
Helps you leverage your Tivoli data to show history and trends and answer questions like
• Which of my servers are under- and over-utilized in CPU, disk or memory?
• What is my server inventory by manufacturer?
Includes both Cognos and BIRT report engines; standard report templates for Tivoli
Highly active in the field – supporting >3,000 customers
TCR ecosystem includes active community on SMC Connect – forums, videos, articles – plus
report templates, report catalog, documentation, courseware, and IBM support system
Starting with V3, TCR leverages database, middleware, and UI services of JazzSM to provide a
complete set of Reporting Services
