Documentation Changes

The following documentation updates have been made since the last release of this documentation:

November2013

You can now open the Investigator from Alerts. This option is added to the View Alerts topic. (PTF RO65056 required.)
Legal Notices—Updated to reflect public documentation legal disclaimer.
The storage engine installation and configuration for CA Chorus for Storage Management is simplified for new customers. When new customers run the CHRSGMI job, the log scripts that provide the TSF object data are created. The topics How to Collect Storage Metrics for TSF and Create a Storage Engine Log Script to Generate Storage Metrics for Time Series are updated accordingly. (Backend PTF RO64747required.)
You can now change values in the Customer Site Costs Data object directly in the Investigator. References that you have to edit and resubmit the Cost Analysis E4HI0011 configuration job in the topics How to Analyze and Lower DASD Costs and Cost Analysis are updated accordingly. (PTF RO63077 required.)
New storage object tree category added, CA SRM Open Systems Objects. (Backend PTF RO60081 required.)
You can now launch the storage engine Host Configuration Client (Config Client) from the Storage Management interface available in the Quick Links Module. Use the Config Client to set or change storage engine system parameters. (PTF RO62885 required.)

June2013

Describe the two ways to display object performance (TSF) object data:
- Side-by-side charts in the Investigator using Statistics object data.
- In the Metrics panel. Configure the Metrics panel to show specific TSF object metrics in the panel, set Metrics thresholds, investigate TSF data, and create your own Metrics dashboard.
Cost Analysis object names changed from Analysis to Analyses. Additional cosmetic changes to the Cost Analysis objects are reflected in the sections Cost Analysis and the work flow scenario How to Analyze and Lower DASD Costs.
The word "Storage" is added to the topic title "Perform Storage Actions on Object Data in the Investigator".
The section Alerts for Storage Conditions is changed to include Policies Module Alerts. A new section Policies Module Alerts is also added.
New workspace sample section Sample CA Chorus for Storage Management Workspace added.
New work flow scenario How to Analyze and Lower DASD Costs added.
The Visualizer in the Investigator is now called the Topology Viewer. All references to the Visualizer are changed to refer to the Topology Viewer.
The My Workspace tab in the Investigator is now called My Dashboard.
Changed product name in Architecture section graphics.
Workflows changed to Scenarios, see chapter "Introduction".
New section Cost Analysis added.
All relevant topics are updated to reflect the new Storage Investigator object tree.
