Entity types
BMC Helix Continuous Optimization contains the following categories of entities: Domains, Business Drivers, and Systems. Each of these categories has its own set of sub-types that can be assigned to the entity. In addition, relationships (see Entity relationships) are also assigned their own types.
The following types of systems, business drivers, domains, and relationships are defined:
System types
A connector may assign a specific type to a system. If not assigned, the system type defaults to "Generic". BMC Helix Continuous Optimization uses system types in the following ways:- In the user interface, a system's icon denotes its type, and its summary page selects a few metrics to show depending on its type.
- Certain analysis and modeling templates use system types to present the appropriate metrics.
The following table lists all available system types.
- The Entity Icon column shows how the type appears in the user interface.
- The Entity Prefix column provides the string to be used when developing connectors.

1 - For some of the technologies, metrics are collected from two sources: hypervisors and operating systems. For each metric, the following namespaces are used to differentiate between these two sources:
- opt:meas - Namespace assigned to the metrics that are collected from the hypervisor.
- opt:meas:vn - Namespace assigned to the metrics that are collected from the operating system.
