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.

BMC AMI 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 BMC AMI Log Master uses to read log records. BMC AMI Log Master uses one input source for all of the log scans in a work ID. When BMC AMI 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.
