    Hi all,

    I have recently seen that Bay Dynamics have released a new version of IT Analytics with great new features. Do you know if Symantec is planning to upgrade ITMS IT Analytics with this new version?

    I also have an additional question. We are thinking on creating our own cubes in the SSAS. Is possible to add them to IT Analytics?

    Regards,

    Iker

    Hi Iker1234,

    ITMS 7.5 SP1 is already released and contains IT Analytics 7.5 SP1 (7.5.2020) (If it is exact release

    ITA75SP1.jpg

    I've successfully upgraded ITMS 7.5 HF6 to ITMS 7.5 SP1 with ITA but seems like sometimes such problem could appear for ITA reports (Probably this will be useful if you will perform same upgrade https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/it-analytics-error-reports-after-sp1-upgrade )

     

    About own cubes in SSAS:

    I see that at least manually builded databases is correctly determined by ITA in SMP Console but I see that it doesn't show my cube and shows only default ITA cubes. Probably I've incorecctly created this cube :)

    Will be better to ask about own cubes in SASS for ITA usage, directly from Bay Dynamics.

     

    Thanks,

    Check this link, there is all required information https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/articles/it-analytics-71-faq-and-resource-guide

     

    Are Custom Cubes supportable?

    A:

    Yes, cubes that are being extended by extracting data from the CMDB database using Custom Data Class Dimension Creation Utility are a supportable feature of IT Analytics.

    New Cubes created in Microsoft’s Business Intelligence Development Studio for the purpose of extracting data from an external data source are generally not supported by Symantec Support. Much like third party report authoring, support for this type of customization is generally supported through a service engagement by the consulting organization the created the original report. The cube created should be called out as “custom” in the Statement of Work.

    Thanks guys. Well I was focusing my question about IT Analytics evolution on asking if Sysmantec is going to upgrade their ITA version including the latest capabilities and features developed by Bay Dynamics in IT analytics 2.1:

    Yes, we're looking at updating the ITA tools in the next release of ITMS, currently targeted at the first half of 2015.
