About this release This document provides important information about Tivoli® Data Warehouse, Version 1.2. This information is the most current information for the product and takes precedence over all other documentation. Read the information in this document before installing or using Tivoli Data Warehouse. New in this release Tivoli Data Warehouse, Version 1.2 has the following new and changed features: Note: Functionality is dependent upon features provided by individual warehouse enablement packs. v Improved ease of installation, upgrade, and uninstallation. v An installation registry that contains the location and connection information for each system in your deployment. This means that you do not have to provide connection information when installing a warehouse enablement pack, hereafter referred to as warehouse pack. v Support for viewing reports with Crystal Enterprise. v Support for multiple central data warehouse databases. v Support for multiple instances of an operational data source. A warehouse pack can extract operational data from multiple instances of the same data source. v For z/OS® systems, Tivoli Data Warehouse supports one central data warehouse and multiple data mart databases, one data mart per each DB2® location. v Capability to grow your deployment over time by adding central data warehouses and data marts after initial installation. v Warehouse packs are configured during installation. v New command utilities to expedite common DB2 procedures in the DB2 Data Warehouse Center. v Improved troubleshooting tools, logs, and message documentation in the new Tivoli Data Warehouse Messages, SC09-7776. v Bash after scripts are deprecated in this release and will not be available in future releases. Use Perl to create after scripts for warehouse packs. Product fix history The following defects were fixed for Version 1.2 of Tivoli Data Warehouse: v APAR IY46244: During the installation of fix packs for warehouse packs, changes made in central data warehouse and data mart data definition language (DDL) and data manipulation language (DML) SQL scripts that are surrounded by delta-based tags to preserve information of earlier fix packs are no longer erased by the patching utility when two or more digits are used for fix pack version numbers. v APAR IY43104: In the DB2 Data Warehouse Center, the IBM® Tivoli Enterprise Console®, Version 3.8 warehouse pack process, ECO_c05_ETL1, step ECO_c05_s010_Extract, no longer fails with the following message: Disallowed implicit conversion from data type datetime to data type int © Copyright IBM Corp. 2002, 2003 1 This was a spurious ODBC error that was produced by the execsql SQL execution engine program. v APAR IY34584: A failure no longer occurs during the operation of warehouse packs when they extract data from the central data warehouse and transform and load that data into data marts. The error information that was displayed or logged when this failure occurred might have indicated an attempt to find or retrieve an expired or nonexistent component or other database object. Backward compatibility You can install warehouse packs for Version 1.1 on Tivoli Data Warehouse, Version 1.2. See Installing and Configuring Tivoli Data Warehouse, GC32-0744 for additional details. Product compatibility Tivoli Data Warehouse, Version 1.2 works with IBM DB2 Universal Database™ Enterprise Edition, Version 7.2 and Crystal Enterprise 9. For compatibility of warehouse packs with Tivoli Data Warehouse, Version 1.2, see the documentation for each applicable warehouse pack. 2 Release Notes Chapter 2.
