Map the sub-towers

Standard sub-towers have been defined for the benchmark data provided by the Apptio Benchmarking Infrastructure application. To light up the Benchmarking reports, you must map your sub-towers to the application sub-towers.

When you created the Costing Standard project, you defined the sub-towers in your IT infrastructure. If you accepted the default sub-tower definitions, these match the standard sub-towers defined in the benchmark data. Where possible, you need to match the sub-towers in the benchmark data to the sub-towers in your IT infrastructure. Complete sub-tower mapping gives the most complete benchmarking data in the reports. You map the sub-towers using the instructions in the application, as shown below.

Prerequisites

Before you can map the sub-towers and cost pools, you must have:

Imported the AIB benchmarking .

Installed the CTF-Benchmarking component (see ).

Appended the AIB benchmarking data to the Benchmarking master data .

To map the sub-towers

1. Select the Reporting tab.
2. On the Home page, select Benchmarking .
3. In the Benchmarking navigation toolbar, select the Map icon highlighted below.

1. Select the Sub-Towers tab.
2. Follow the instructions on the Mapping page.
