Time frame definitions
Time frames (also called scan ranges, or ranges) are primarily start and end points that determine when a log scan begins and ends.
Log Master saves the time frame definition under a work ID. When viewing the contents of the work ID, the time frame definition constitutes part of the log scan step.
As you define a time frame, you can also define the input source that Log Master uses to read log records. Log Master uses one input source for all of the log scans in a work ID. When Log Master processes a time frame, it selects all of the records within the specified range. To restrict record selection, specify a filter. For this reason, work IDs usually include both a time frame and a filter.
The type and goal of your task determine how to define a time frame. Some tasks, such as migrating changes or auditing, are performed on an ongoing basis. You can create a time frame to accommodate the requirements of ongoing processing. For more information, see Migrating-data-changes.
