The Crystal Reports runtime is installed with the Discovery Interface and allows you to use the Crystal Reports reports that are included in the Tivoli discovery guides. Discovery Administrator The Discovery Administrator component lets you configure and perform administration functions for Tivoli Decision Support. For example, you can use the Discovery Administrator to import Discovery Guides, to set up and test data connections, to build cubes, and to set cube building schedules. The Discovery Administrator is installed and operated separately from the Discovery Interface. You must install the Cognos Transformer to build the multidimensional cubes used by the Tivoli discovery guides. Shared Data The Shared Data components, also called server components, include the models, queries, templates, and other data required to generate views for the Discovery Interface. 7LS Users must have full access to the shared data source. The first time you run the Tivoli Administrator, you may be prompted for the path to the shared data source folder. In stand-alone mode, this folder is the installation folder for the Shared Data component (by default, \Program Files\TDS 2.1). In network mode, this folder is the network drive you created to access the Shared Data components.
