CMC: Capability to schedule/push periodic mailers

- Today, client needs to login to CMC and need to manually pull usage data from CMC console.
- In an actual production environment, there are different people responsible for administrator, capacity management & billing.
- Access to CMC is desirable mostly by admin teams.
- Because of the current inability of CMC to send/push/schedule mailers with usage/metering data, capacity/billing management teams have dependency on authorized user of CMC to pull report for them, which is inconvenient, time consuming and delaying.
- It is proposed to incorporate in CMC capability to send/push/schedule mailers with usage/metering data.
- Most of the competitive OEM already have scheduling capability as part of their metering tool for pay as you go infrastructure solution, example HPE Greenlake.

    Capability is added in EP2.0 app in CMC to schedule email of the usage statement. You can enable the option to send a monthly credit usage statement for the pool to the listed email addresses. The credit usage statement is sent on the first day of each month and contains the credit usage for the previous month.

    Thanks,
