Setting the BBI-SS PAS historical recording interval

Use the following procedure (which uses member BBIISP xx) to specify a recording interval when records are to be written to a historical data set.

Records are written from the interval recorder to a historical data set at the end of every recording interval. The IRRI statement in member BBIISPxx specifies the length of the recording interval. Views that display current data have interval and real-time data-collection periods that are based on the IRRI value.

To set the recording interval

Add an IRRI statement to member BBIISPxx.
On the IRRI statement, specify a recording interval in hours and minutes, as follows:
IRRI=hh:mm
For example, to set the historical interval recording interval to 10 minutes, specify
IRRI=00:10
The shortest recording interval that you can specify is two minutes (IRRI=00:02). The longest is one hour (IRRI=01:00).
Note

If the IRRI statement is not specified in member BBIISPxx, the length of the recording interval uses a default value of 15 minutes.
