How To
Summary
You can reach out to the ApptioOne IBM support team to request a generated Metrics and Pipeline analysis report. This report summarizes all formulas used in every metric, table, perspective and report for a single build of a project. Below are instructions on how to request this report.
Steps
- First you will want to raise a new support ticket at https://www.ibm.com/mysupport
- You will need to raise a ticket under the Apptio Costing, Billing or EBM Primary Product.
- Add it as a support maintenance request and include in the subject "Request for Metrics and Transform Pipeline Analysis file"
- With this report, each generated report reflects a single build for a single project. You can request multiple reports for multiple builds and projects.
Please structure the description as below and include the following:
Environment Name: e.g. Main or Sandbox
Project Name: e.g. Cost Transparency or Bill of IT
Build Number (including Dev or Staging): e.g. Build #### Dev or Build #### Staging
Time Window: e.g. After 6pm PST
- If you require multiple reports for different projects or builds, you may raise a new case with the same structure as above per request.
- Please provide a time window, preferrably during non-office hours, for support to generate this as you may experiecence a slight decrease in performance during our data extraction process, and allow 1-3 business days to receive the report.
- After these reports have been generated, the support team will provide links to download these reports. Please note that these URLs will expire after a few days, so please be mindful with timing when you recieve these
- For each report, the filename structure of the report you have recieved should be "InstanceName_ProjectName_Build_###_Dev/Staging.analysis.tsv"
