The TrueSight console is a modern, web-based user interface technology integrated throughout the TrueSight product suite. This new technology, which is hosted on the Presentation Server, is a more modern and interactive UI, and is also available on mobile devices such as tablets.

In version 10.5.00 of BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization, the Capacity Pools view is available on this new interface.

Access to the Presentation Server component is enabled through integrated system authentication with BMC Atrium Single Sign-On. Any Atrium SSO user authorized to access the Capacity Pools view, can login to this component.

  • You must be logged on to a BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization console with a user account that has been assigned a role that includes access to the Administration tab, such as the ADMIN role. 
  • Ensure that the  BMC Atrium Single Sign-On 9.0 system is installed . The Presentation Server will not operate without Atrium Single Sign-On.
  • Ensure that you have configured BMC TrueSight Capacity Optimization with Atrium Single Sign-On. For more information, see Authentication. 
  • Ensure that TrueSight Presentation Server machine is able to ping the TrueSight Capacity Optimization datahub machine. Otherwise, you get the following error in the Presentation Server: Registration Error - Capacity Optimization component registration is failed due to internal errors.
