Use this window to view, sign, or download the audit report.
Click a product to drill down to view its details.
The window provides the links that help you act on the selected
audit report. You can use the download the CSV file link
to obtain software scan history for the report. It shows the following
information: software scan scheduled date, scan group name, failed
agent host name (available only if there are failed agents), failed
agent scan date (available only if there are failed agents - it
is empty when the scan results were not sent to the server; it provides
the scan date when the scan results were sent but there were some
problems), and failed agent error status (this column lists
not only software scan related problems but also problems connected
generally with agent operation). For more information about how to
troubleshoot error statuses of failed agents, refer to the information center.
There are three tabs:
- Number of discovered network addresses
- The number of computers discovered by the Nmap scan.
- Number of systems without agents
- The number of computers discovered by the Nmap scan which do not
have an agent installed.
- PVU Report
- The tab shows software products in your IT infrastructure discovered
by the software scans during the time period for the selected audit
report, and each product's CPU core and processor value unit (PVU)
capacity under full and subcapacity regulations. Click a product to
view servers with component instances.
Tip: If a given
product is ineligible for subcapacity, you can click it to view its
PID and part number information, but you cannot view the list of servers
with this product (only in the case of audit reports generated in
version 7.2 or higher of the product).
- Generate Delta Report
- Use this link to generate a delta report which shows the differences
in processor value unit (PVU) capacity between the chosen audit report
and the last signed report.
Note: Delta report is not generated immediately
after you click the Generate Delta Report link
- it is generated daily at a given time.
- Comments
- Indicates whether you can save some processor value units by changing
the default assignment of the unconfirmed instances (by assigning
these instances to other products).
- Systems Report
- The tab shows systems software products in your IT infrastructure
discovered by the software scans during the time period for the selected
audit report, and each product's CPU core capacity under full and
subcapacity regulations. Additionally, it shows the number of partitions
on which a given product has been discovered. Click a product to view
partitions with component instances.
- Comments
- Indicates whether you can save some central processing units (CPUs)
by changing the default assignment of the unconfirmed instances (by
assigning these instances to other products).
- RVU Report
- The tab shows software products in your IT infrastructure discovered
by the software scans during the time period for the selected audit
report, and each product's CPU core and resource value unit (RVU)
capacity under full and subcapacity regulations. Click a product to
view servers with component instances.
Tip: If a given
product is ineligible for subcapacity, you can click it to view its
PID and part number information, but you cannot view the list of servers
with this product.
- Audit report statuses
- Some report statuses reflect situations that you can affect; others
are simply information about system status.
- Ready - The report is ready to be signed.
Review and sign the report if it matches the processor value unit
(PVU) or systems capacity, as measured in PVUs and CPUs, available
to the licensed products.
- Signing - The report is being signed. It
is not possible to make any changes that would affect the report's
PVU or CPU values. If the signing process fails, the audit report
status will change to ready again. You will be able to check
the reason why it was not signed in the log files.
- Signed - The report has been signed. You
must keep it for two years.
- Pending - You must sign the reports in
chronological order. There is a ready report that must be signed
before you can sign this one.
- Waiting - You can view this report but
cannot sign it until the finalization period is over. The finalization
period defines the number of days during which agents can continue
reporting on the period covered by this report. If any agents have
not yet sent their data to the server, the contents of this report
might still change.
- Running - Data for the report is not available
at the moment because it is being collected or recalculated.
Note: When the service provider feature is enabled, data is also
not available if essential periodic calculations for the corresponding
report group are not triggered. You can trigger essential periodic
calculations for a report group in the Manage Software Inventory panel.
If essential periodic calculations are not triggered, the report status
does not change from running.
- Data can also be unavailable if you have performed one of the
following actions:
- new manual or scheduled report generation (if the report covers
the period when data has not been aggregated)
- software bundle management
- product instance classification
Try again later to view this report.
- The time you need to wait for the report to be generated depends
on the following factors:
- the value of the maxAggregateUsageAge parameter
of the setserverconf command in case of report generation.
This parameter specifies the age of the data (in days) before it is
processed and consolidated by the server. The setting is used to ensure
that all the information relevant for aggregation has arrived at the
server, taking into account the frequency with which it is uploaded
from the agent.
- the size of your IT infrastructure which influences the time a
given report is in the running state.
- the amount of data processed in the software bundle management
or product instance classification.
- View only - You cannot sign this report
because its reporting period overlaps with that of a signed report.
However, you can still use the report as a reference (or delete it).
Note that this report does not provide any additional information
in the Details expandable section and about
the PVU and tier table version.
- Non-continuous - There is a gap between
the end date of the last signed report or the server installation
date (or the first day after the end date of the last migrated Tivoli® License Compliance Manager
2.3 report) and the start date of this one. To sign this report,
you must first create and sign a report that covers the gap because
the reports must be signed in chronological order. Use the info command
to view the server installation date and the date of the next report.
The diagram shows the relationships between the statuses:

you can perform with the table, see Table actions list.
- Download summary as PDF
- Downloads the audit report summary as a single document in the
PDF format for saving. The summary shows the data from the Details section
and the table as well. The format retains the filtering and sorting
performed on the table. The PDF format has a limited capacity so it
may not be possible to create it for too large tables. You cannot
download a summary RVU report in a PDF file.
- Download the whole report as PDF
- Downloads the entire audit report as a single document in the
PDF format for saving. It shows more detailed information than the
summary, including the product ID and part number information. The
PDF format has a limited capacity so it may not be possible to create
it for too large tables. Note that products ineligible for subcapacity
licensing will not be shown in the report generated in the 7.2 or
higher version of the product.
Note: If you see the

icon next to
an agent, it means that it has some inconsistencies in the software
scan data from the specific reporting period. You can use the
download
the CSV file link above the table to open the CSV file
and find out what the problems with the agent are.
- Download the whole report as XML
- Downloads the entire audit report as a single document in the
XML format for saving. An audit report must be signed before it can
be downloaded in this format. Note that products ineligible for subcapacity
licensing will not be shown in the report generated in the 7.2 or
higher version of the product.
- Download summary as CSV
- Downloads the audit report summary as a single document in the
CSV format for saving and editing. It shows the data from the Details section
and the table as well. The format has no limitations as far as the
number of rows is concerned and it retains the filtering and sorting
performed on the table. Use a spreadsheet application to open it.
- Download the whole report as CSV
- Downloads the entire audit report as two documents in the CSV
format for saving and editing. One document shows the data from the
table. The second one shows more detailed information, including the
product ID and part number information. The format has no limitations
as far as the number of rows is concerned. Use a spreadsheet application
to open it. Products ineligible for subcapacity licensing will not
be shown in the report generated in the 7.2 or higher version of the
product.
