—What’s New in TSCO 10.5 Architectural changes in TSCO 10.5

TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10.5TSCO – Main Architectural Components

TrueSight CO

Application Server (AS)

• communication bus for all other components

• analytical, modeling and reporting tasks

• primary scheduling services

• presentation layer support

TrueSight CO ETL Engine Server (EE)

TrueSight CO Database Server (DB)

• data integration layer (both ETL procedures and pollers)

• secondary scheduling services

• Capacity Database repository

• data loading, managing and processing tasks

• data storing, summarization and pruning

please refer to BMC documentation for the updarted list of supported platforms

TrueSight CO Gateway Server (GS)

• data loading, managing and processing from managed nodes running Agents

• data storing, summarization and pruning

Major rolesComponent

TrueSight Presentation Server (PS)

• Modern web-based UI and mobile tablet capable

• Data presentation layer integrated throughout the TrueSight product suite

Atrium SSO (SSOS)• Authentication system that enables access to TrueSight PS

• TSCO users must be externally authenticated via Atrium SSO to access TSPS

TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10.5

Architecture

TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10.5New architectural components TrueSight Presentation Server (TSPS) requirements are not expected to vary as

widely for M/L envs:

• in production environment AS, TSPS and SSO have to be installed on three

different server

• for test/production (and also for very small installation?), it is allowed for TSPS +

SSO to be on the same server, with AS on a separate server

• it is not allowed (also in test/dev) for TSPS + AS or TSPS + SSO + AS to be

installed on the same servers.

TSPS also requires Atrium SSO (ASSO) to create or allow users to log into TSPS – in

the future Remedy SSO is expected to replace ASSO for TSPS

Please have customers leverage the AMIGO program for migrations/sizing guidance

– Ability to use CO analytics to get value from the integration with MS Azure

• Performance metrics at Role and Role Instance level

• Configuration metrics for Deployment, Role and Role Instances are also imported

• MS Azure entities in the workspace are:

– Cloud Service

– Deployment

– Role

– Role Instance or Virtual Machine

Customer value: better quality of service

– Many organizations today are adopting MS Azure technology to deploy

workloads on a cloud service platform

– Capacity Planners can now confidently manage their MS Azure cloud resources

—What’s New in TSCO 10.5Simplified Reporting:enhanced Basic Reports

– Content structuring through chart grouping, allows to combine different

analysis and models for the same report, and group them by Analysis/Model

or by Entity Name

– Page Layout allows to arrange the charts and tables in the report and define

the number of columns and rows

– Existing Basic Reports can be used to build a single composite report

The Enhanced Basic Reporting includes improved flexibility for report content structuring and ability to group

multiple reports together in a composite basic report

Customer value: Improved Flexibility for Basic Reports

– easier and quicker analysis of domain-based content in reports through composite reporting and structured layout capabilities

– Reduce or eliminate manual effort in Word documents or building BIRT reports

—What’s New in TSCO 10.5Simplify data integration:enhanced Manager Run configuration

TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10.5Automatic Creation of Manager Runs

A new interactive UI is available for creating

multiple Manager Runs and:

• automate creation of policy files and

manager runs for a Gateway Server

• create multiple policy files and manager

runs for a Gateway Server

For multiple manager runs created from a

single list of servers for a Gateway Server, you

can update properties of all manager runs by

updating the properties of the master

manager run

TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10.5

Automatic Creation of Manager Runs

• Can TSCO 10.5 Console talk to a 10.3 Gateway Server to automatically create

manager runs?

– Yes, it can but 10.3 Gateway Server supports creation of single manager run

from a single agent list - It does not support the creation of multiple manager

runs from a single agent list

• What is the difference between 10.3 Gateway Server and 10.5 Gateway Server?

– The primary difference is support of multiple manager runs from a single

agent list – Also additional error codes and robustness has been added to 10.5

• Are there any prerequisite for auto manager run wizard?

– Default manager run configuration should be setup with good default values

for all manager run parameters
