The IBM "push mode" behavior is not what HSBC want, here's the clarification from Wang Meng:
Suppose a BPD contain 4 steps: activity1, activity2, activity3, activity4
The "Automatically launching the user's next task" is:
If user1 will own all activities for instance1, then when he/she complete instance1.activity1, the instance1.activity2 will automatically open, then instance1.activity3, instance1.activity4
Sequnce:
instance1.activity1 --> instance1.activity2 --> instance1.activity3 --> instance1.activity4
I just verified it can work well in my env.
What HSBC want is:
When user1 complete instance1.activity1, you want instance2.activity1, instance3.activity1.... to be opened.
Sequnce:
instance1.activity1 --> instance2.activity1 --> instance3.activity1 --> instance4.activity1
TSM does not use TIP other than TCR.. you should be able to use the same TIP/TCR for reporting.
You should be able to set up single sign-on across these systems and this should remove any need for logging into multiple TIPS. As far as the plans and support for including Tivoli Storage Manager within a shared TIP I am forwarding this to our Tivoli Storage Manager product team.
