Here are some reporting tools that are part of TSM and are available at no additional charge. The Operational Reporting Facility was available as part of TSM v5 and it is still most applicable to TSM v6. Tivoli Common Reporting became available with TSM version 6. The ORF still provides a very useful operational reporting capability. IBM development has published a flash on making the v5 ORF work with v6 servers. See http :// www -01. ibm .com/support/ docview . wss ? uid =swg27019794 – If you want to use TCR , then please use the 6.3 version and not any earlier version. Download from ftp://service.boulder. ibm .com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/reporting/v6r3/6.3.3.000/ (pick your platform) - it is aimed at management and TSM Administrator reporting and perhaps not so much at operational reporting. All this will change in the near term to moderate term future – see http :// www . youtube .com/watch?v= iN _ hDIgmfic - suggest you watch it full screen as some of the screen images are small.

EDU Sent: Thursday, April 4, 2013 7:06:59 AM Subject: [ADSM-L] State of TSM Reporting Hi. we are going away from perl and want to install a reporting feature for our TSM servers. What is the current state of TSM Reporting? I got burned the last time I touched this but that was some years ago. Is it of acceptable quality today or is something new and better around the corner? Or should I just go for a 3rd party solution. Suggestions? Regards, Hans Chr .
