—What’s New in TSCO 10.5 Architectural changes in TSCO 10.5
TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10.5TSCO – Main Architectural Components
TrueSight CO
Application Server (AS)
• communication bus for all other components
• analytical, modeling and reporting tasks
• primary scheduling services
• presentation layer support
TrueSight CO ETL Engine Server (EE)
TrueSight CO Database Server (DB)
• data integration layer (both ETL procedures and pollers)
• secondary scheduling services
• Capacity Database repository
• data loading, managing and processing tasks
• data storing, summarization and pruning
please refer to BMC documentation for the updarted list of supported platforms
TrueSight CO Gateway Server (GS)
• data loading, managing and processing from managed nodes running Agents
• data storing, summarization and pruning
Major rolesComponent
TrueSight Presentation Server (PS)
• Modern web-based UI and mobile tablet capable
• Data presentation layer integrated throughout the TrueSight product suite
Atrium SSO (SSOS)• Authentication system that enables access to TrueSight PS
• TSCO users must be externally authenticated via Atrium SSO to access TSPS
TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10.5
Architecture
TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10.5New architectural components TrueSight Presentation Server (TSPS) requirements are not expected to vary as
widely for M/L envs:
• in production environment AS, TSPS and SSO have to be installed on three
different server
• for test/production (and also for very small installation?), it is allowed for TSPS +
SSO to be on the same server, with AS on a separate server
• it is not allowed (also in test/dev) for TSPS + AS or TSPS + SSO + AS to be
installed on the same servers.
TSPS also requires Atrium SSO (ASSO) to create or allow users to log into TSPS – in
the future Remedy SSO is expected to replace ASSO for TSPS
Please have customers leverage the AMIGO program for migrations/sizing guidance

– Cloud Service
– Deployment
– Role
– Role Instance or Virtual Machine
Customer value: better quality of service
– Many organizations today are adopting MS Azure technology to deploy
workloads on a cloud service platform
– Capacity Planners can now confidently manage their MS Azure cloud resources

manager runs for a Gateway Server
• create multiple policy files and manager
runs for a Gateway Server
For multiple manager runs created from a
single list of servers for a Gateway Server, you
can update properties of all manager runs by
updating the properties of the master
manager run
TrueSight Capacity Optimization 10.5
Automatic Creation of Manager Runs
• Can TSCO 10.5 Console talk to a 10.3 Gateway Server to automatically create
manager runs?
– Yes, it can but 10.3 Gateway Server supports creation of single manager run
from a single agent list - It does not support the creation of multiple manager
runs from a single agent list
• What is the difference between 10.3 Gateway Server and 10.5 Gateway Server?
– The primary difference is support of multiple manager runs from a single
agent list – Also additional error codes and robustness has been added to 10.5
• Are there any prerequisite for auto manager run wizard?
– Default manager run configuration should be setup with good default values
for all manager run parameters
