23.2.02
Purge entities after 60 days of inactivity
Inactive entities in your infrastructure can affect license usage. To obtain the accurate license count, configure the automatic purging of entities for which no data is imported during the last 60 days. For details, see Global-configuration.
Configure a custom Optimizer rule to notify alerts to specific business owners
Configure a custom Optimizer rule to automatically retrieve the recipient email addresses that are specified for the alerted entities in a data mart column or in a configuration metric. When the Optimizer rule conditions are satisfied, email notifications are sent to respective business owners of the alerted entities. For details, see Adding a custom Optimizer rule.
Restore entity relations defined by ETLs
Use the Restore relations option to restore entity relations that are defined by ETLs. Relations that were not defined in the last data import by ETLs will be removed. For details, see Working-with-ETLs.
Collect logs from Remote ETL Engines
Use the log grabber to collect logs from the Remote ETL Engines in your environment. You can use these logs to troubleshoot capacity-specific issues in the on-premises infrastructure. For details, see Performing-system-maintenance-tasks.
Out-of-the-box view for Hadoop
Analyze and manage the capacity of Hadoop resources in your infrastructure by using the Hadoop view. Visualize the capacity usage of aggregated entities in a single view and drill down to specific areas as required. For details, see Hadoop views.

23.2.00
The following video (3.02) provides a high-level summary of the new features and enhancements in version 23.2 of BMC Helix Continuous Optimization.
Analyze the capacity of the AIX infrastructure by using AIX views
Analyze and manage the capacity of the AIX infrastructure by using out-of-the-box capacity views. These views contain the key capacity metrics for AIX frames and partitions. For details, see AIX-views.
Create derived entities
Create derived entities based on existing entities. Use these entities to represent calculated metric values from other systems. For example, a logical cluster that includes multiple nodes can be defined as a derived entity. For details, see Creating-and-viewing-entities.
Get insights into the overall health and status of business services by using the Service Risk Dashboard
Use the out-of-the-box Service Risk Dashboard to visualize the business service performance based on the correlation between business drivers and resources of a pool. Service owners can use this information to get insights into the overall health and status of business services.
For more information, see Visualizing-the-overall-health-and-status-of-the-business-services.
Configure the default time zone
Configure the default time zone to be used when showing data series in every chart of BMC Helix Continuous Optimization, such as charts in analyses, models, and views. For details, see Global-configuration.
