The Analysis Viewpoint enables you to focus on different entities of all job types. There are two Viewpoint modes:
Business Service Analysis Viewpoint: The Business Service Analysis Viewpoint enables you to focus on one particular service. All the jobs of the service are displayed in the Viewpoint, together with additional information related to the BMC Batch Impact Manager (BIM) analysis. This information helps you understand how BMC Batch Impact Manager determines which services are running late or failing. With this information you can further, analyze the results and better deal with the problem. For more information see Accessing the Business Service Analysis Viewpoint for a specific service.
General Analysis Viewpoint: The General Analysis Viewpoint enables you to focus in on one particular job and all other jobs related to that selected job, by creating a dummy BIM service, or to focus in on a specific application, sub-application, folder, or SMART folder and all related jobs. All the relevant jobs are displayed in the Analysis Viewpoint together with additional information related to the BMC Batch Impact Manager (BIM) analysis. This information helps you see the job estimated run times, understand the critical path (most important jobs), and understand when the latest job in the selection will end. With this information you can further analyze the results and better understand the running process. For more information see Accessing the General Analysis Viewpoint.
The enhanced Viewpoint enables you to do the following:
Active Job analysis: Enables you to analyze jobs and manage job flows, you can display and modify the processing details of jobs in the Monitoring domain. You can also modify certain details for a job run.
Job actions: Enables you to intervene manually when special critical processes, and potentially problematic situations arise.
Service analysis: (BIM only) Enables you to analyze services and manage service flows, by viewing problematic jobs, view service logs, properties, and Remedy tickets.
Apply a projection: Enables you to simulate the job status, so you can get specific information about missing prerequisites or unavailable resources. You can ensure that you add more resources or satisfy the prerequisite, or manually add in the Waiting Info tab, as described in Applying/adding conditions to waiting jobs.
Jobs search: Enables you to find jobs and services with specific filters.
Edit Forecast/BIM rule: (BIM only) Enables you to edit exceptions that affect the expected job run times.
Editing a Service Assumption: (BIM only) Enables you to edit exceptions that affect the expected job run times of a specific service.
In addition, the Viewpoint contains the following views:
Service Monitor - Live: (BIM only) Displays current information about the analyzed service and a summary of the services in the enterprise. When What-Ifs are added, the Business Services - Live area shows the impact of the What-Ifs on the simulation. For more information, see Service Monitor - live parameters.
Analysis Viewpoint Information: Displays current information about the selected entity and a summary of the related entities in the enterprise. For more information, see Analysis Viewpoint Information.
Dashboard: Displays a mini-dashboard with job information and buttons for frequently used service actions. For more information, see Analysis Viewpoint Dashboard parameters.
Business Services What-If Scenario: (BIM only) Enables you to simulate actions that can resolve service problems and analyze their impact on the active environment, before actually executing them. For more information, see Create a What-if scenario.
