Scheduling Model Builder Tasks
This section explains how to schedule Model Builder Tasks by using the Model Builder Proxy.
To generate a cost model for Cost Analyzer, you need to run a Model Builder Task that builds the cost model from the populated mainframe data.
You can select from the following methods:
Program the Model Builder Task to automatically execute after the Automator script completes its daily run and populates the data into the CDB server.
This is the recommended method; it ensures that all data has been populated into the CDB server before the Model Builder Task runs. For more information, see Installing-the-Cost-Analyzer-Model-Builder-Proxy.
Use Cost Analyzer Scheduling Services to execute the Model Builder task at a specified time.
If you do not want to program the Model Builder Task to run automatically in your existing Automator script, you can specify the time to execute the task. However, for best results, the time that you select should be after all of the data has been populated into the CDB server.
