Checklist
Note: It is important that you have read how to use the document in the introduction before continuing.
| Section 1, Getting Up and Running |
The purpose of this section is to guide you through the steps that are necessary to collect representative performance data at your site, create a test IT Service Vision PDB, process the data into it, reduce the data in the PDB, and analyze and report on the data.
Section 1, Task 1: Start the IT Service Vision Server Software
Section 1, Task 2: Start Your Data Collector Software
Section 1, Task 3: Create a Test PDB and Process, Reduce, and Report on Your Data
| Section 2, Making the Transition to Production |
Section 1 got you started with data collection, a test PDB, and some simple report definitions. This section describes how to finish customizing the data collection, PDB, and report definitions to the specific requirements at your site. It also describes how to put the customized versions into production.
Section 2, Task 1: Customize and Verify Your Test PDB
Section 2, Task 2: Create Your Production PDB
Section 2, Task 3: Customize Your Report Definitions
