Configuring BMC Capacity Optimization

Make sure you have completed the following steps before configuring BMC Capacity Optimization:

1. Installing or upgrading BMC Capacity Optimization.
2. Verifying your BMC Capacity Optimization installation.

3.  Post-installation configuration settings for BMC Capacity Optimization.

To get started with BMC Capacity Optimization, you must complete the following actions:

• Stage 1: Identify the use cases and data sources (cross-link with the configuration cases below???)
• Stage 2: Deploy connectors (out-of-the-box or custom) for identified data sources, and import some data into the BMC Capacity Optimization database
  
  • Lookup fields versus out-of-the box connectors matrix.
  • Adding and configuring ETL tasks (deploy connectors).
• Stage 3: Deploy and populate the out-of-the box views and/or create a custom view  
  • Data source versus out-of-the box views matrix
  • OOTB Views deployment (look at the 'Installing additional components' section)
• Stage 4: Create analysis, models and reports (Insert the links to the related 'using' sections)
• Stage 5: Manage access to artifacts and organize artifacts, views and tasks 
  • Configuring an Access Group
  • Configuring Report groups
  • Configuring Task group
  • Configuring View groups
