Generating a usage report

This procedure describes how to generate a usage report, which measures peak usage across all Control-M environments.

To generate a usage report:

1. From the Start menu, select All Programs > BMC Control-M 9.0.00> Usage Utility (Run as Administrator).

   The Control-M Usage Reporting Tool appears.

2. Review the Reporting Tool Wizard information and click Next.
3. From the dropdown list, select the Control-M type, add the Control-M/EM environments as necessary, and click Next.

   NOTE: To check the database name, from the CCM, in the Components Tree pane, under the Control-M/EM component, right-click Database and then click Properties.

   The Control-M Usage Reporting Tool reviews the connection status.

4. Click Next.

   The full set of reports appears.

   NOTE: The Reports are automatically saved in <Control-M/EM home>\default\usagetool\reports. Each time you run the tool, a new sub-folder is created, and the new set of reports is placed in the Reports folder.

5. If you want to send the report by email click Send Report.

   NOTE: By default, the Report is sent by email, emworkloadautomation@bmc.com. If you want to change the email go to <Control-M/EM home>\default\usagetool\data, open the config.ini file, and change the UsageAlertEmail parameter.

6. If you want to save the report to a different location, click Save Report.
7. To close the Reporting Tool, click Finish.
