Getting started

BMC AMI Capacity Reporting is a tool that helps detect deviations in the normal behavior of metrics that impact capacity, performance, and mainframe IT costs. It uses machine-learned standards to recognize patterns in shift usage.

BMC AMI Capacity Reporting comes with product-provided workflow templates that use data science to help you understand the deviations that triggered the impact. These workflow templates are designed to detect anomalies in applications, hardware, and system software. They can also directly or indirectly detect service level impact or risk due to limited capacity or excess software license costs. There are product-defined workflow templates to detect CPU Efficiency, Overhead, or SLA risks. You can modify and clone these templates to add site-specific knowledge.

You can also create your workflows and rules for additional metrics to detect additional anomalies. All the baseline creation and anomaly detection execution occurs on the BMC AMI Capacity Reporting Windows server, avoiding any impact on z/OS GCP MSU.
