What's new in IT Analytics 7.1 SP2

In the 7.1 SP2 release of IT Analytics, the following new features are introduced.

Table: New features

Feature

Description

Display resource list

This feature lets users right-click a cell that contains a valid measure cell and open the Resource List window. This window displays all of the resources that can be derived from this cell. In this window, users can select one or more resources and launch any Item Action that is valid to those resources.

See Managing resources from the built-in cube browser.

Cube exclusion

This feature lets users select cubes to exclude from external CMDBs cube processing to avoid duplication of data or for other purposes. For example, the user may have multiple client-facing Symantec Management Platform servers. In addition, the user may have a top tier Symantec Management Platform that serves as an Asset Management Server. The user can prevent data duplication by excluding the Asset Management Server from processing the Inventory cube, Patch Management cube, etc.

See Excluding cubes from external CMDBs cube processing.
