BMC Service Level Management 19.08 ... Using Using the SLM Console Working with service targets Working with CI Outage service targets Defining CI Outage service targets

Defining costs for CI Outage service targets

In Step 2 of 4 of the service target wizard, you specify the financial impact to the business for the CI Outages. If you are creating a service target to be used in an OLA, typically no costs are involved. 

The following table describes fields in this tab of the service target wizard for both basic and advanced modes. Advanced mode includes all fields in the basic mode with additional options you can use to define your service target.

Description

Basic/Advanced

Cost

  • Use Single Goal and Cost-allows you to enter a single goal and cost.
  • Use Goal and Cost Schedule-allows you to set up different cost structures for different days and times according to the impact on the business if the agreement is not met. For example, if a server is down between 12:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. on Monday morning when few people are accessing the server, you can set the costs incurred at a lower rate than between 1:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. on a Wednesday afternoon when most of the employees require access to the server.
