Using master schedule reports |
Both predefined and statistical reports can be added as entries in the TCM Scheduler for processing at a scheduled time. In addition, you can create master schedule reports to see when reports and changes are scheduled to occur. Master schedule reports are useful to monitor how a change is progressing. For instance, master schedule reports list which changes are scheduled to be implemented or which reports are scheduled to be run. You can also send master schedule report data to Microsoft Project if your organization uses it. You can also include the data in a Gantt chart that your company can use to monitor the change process. Remember that a master schedule report lists complete changes, not the tasks that were scheduled during the change process. |
Running master schedule reports |

Change Management. To run a master schedule report:

Using the DDE link to Microsoft Project |
Tivoli Change Management enables you to transfer
data from master schedule reports and models into Microsoft Project. To create a link and transfer the report data to Microsoft Project:
Result: Microsoft Project creates the file named TCM_MST.MPP, then transfers the report data from Tivoli Change Management to the new file. The Microsoft Project button is not available if Microsoft Project is not already running on your workstation. If this is the case, close the Master Schedules dialog box, start Microsoft Project, then choose Schedules from the Reports menu. Note: Because the same file name is used the next time you choose the Microsoft Project button on the Master Schedules dialog box, you should save the file using a different name. Otherwise, the data in your TCM_MST.MPP file is overwritten. |
