Overview

Axibase Warehouse Designer is a fully-integrated, self-service reporting tool for ITM Tivoli Monitoring 6.x. The product provides end-users a simple interface to view and create performance and capacity planning reports without any training or SQL programming. Unlike generic reporting tools, the Warehouse Designer is based on a built-in query-by-example (QBE) interface which allows system owners to easily create customized charts in less than 15 seconds without any knowledge of ITM or TDW.
