What is interval data


Interval Data is data collected at user-specified intervals. It contains information about the activity (or resource) that was measured at the end of the interval. The interval duration is specified on the Interval field of the Automation Reporter Parms panel.

(See Specifying-collection-intervals.)

When a new interval begins, data is collected as if the previous interval did not occur.

Warning

Example

If the Automation Reporter begins collecting data at 9:00 A.M. in 30 minute intervals and you choose to dump the collected data at 10:30 A.M. the same morning, you will have three records for each item: one for 9:00 to 9:30, from 9:30 to 10:00, and from 10:00 to 10:30.

To see how a specific item performed over the entire hour and half period, you would add up the values in all three of these records.

The items that the Automation Reporter collects in intervals are

  • ACTN
  • ALRT
  • RES
  • TAPE (LOCAL)
  • TAPE (PLEX)
