Report generation process

Describes the procedure to generate a report after a report has been submitted to run.

The following figure shows the report generation process after a report has been submitted to run.

Report Generation Process

  • Reports are submitted to run on the server.
  • The Tivoli® Netcool® Performance Manager software treats all reports as report groups. Each report group is given a group number (job ID), and each report within the group is given a report number (task ID) and a report name. Report groups are queued to be run.
  • A report group, and so all the reports within the group is run.
  • If a report within the report group is successfully generated, the report output becomes available in Monitor tab. If it is a local report, it also becomes available in the Browse tab.

If report generation is unsuccessful, report status and auxiliary information about the run become available in the Monitor tab.
