Controlling the availability of dynamic thresholds

To make a dynamic threshold available for use, the threshold selection definition, threshold set definition, and calendar period definition must all be enabled. Any status other than ENABLED means the definition is not currently available for use.

For a dynamic threshold to take effect, one of the calendar periods specified in the threshold selection definition must be active. By default, a time-based calendar period is active when the current time and day of the week fall within one of the time spans specified in a calendar period definition that is enabled. A MANUAL calendar period is controlled by view or operator command.

Use the following procedures to:

Enable or disable dynamic threshold definitions
Change the current state (active or inactive) of a calendar period

To enable or disable calendar period definitions

Display the CALDEFS or CALDEF view.
Use the ENAble or DISable primary or line command, as appropriate.

To enable or disable threshold set definitions

Display the THRSETS or THRSET view.
Use the ENAble or DISable primary or line command, as appropriate.

To enable or disable threshold selection definitions

Display the THRSELS or THRSEL view.
Use the ENAble or DISable primary or line command, as appropriate.

To change the state of a calendar period

Display the CALSTAT view.
Use the ACTivate or INActivate line command, as appropriate.
Note
A MANUAL calendar period remains in the state that you set until someone changes the state by using the appropriate line command on CALSTAT or an operator command.
A time-based calendar period remains in the state that you set until one of the time spans specified in its definition changes the state. Using the ACTivate or INActivate line command on a time-based calendar period is a temporary measure.
