Diagnosing dynamic threshold problems


For a dynamic threshold to be in effect, the following conditions must be met:

  • The threshold selection definition (THRSEL) must be enabled.
  • The threshold sets that are named in the threshold selection must be defined and those threshold set definitions (THRSETS) must be enabled.
  • The calendar periods that are named in the threshold selection must be defined and those calendar period definitions (CALDEFS) must be enabled.
  • One of the calendar periods named in the threshold selection must be active. A 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.

If these conditions are met, the next thing to consider is the order of threshold selection entries in the threshold selection definition. The entries, which are pairs of threshold set definitions and calendar period definitions, are evaluated in order, starting at the top (as displayed in THRSEL):

  • If the calendar period is active, the corresponding threshold set is checked.
  • If the corresponding threshold set is defined and enabled, that threshold set becomes the active threshold set.
  • If the corresponding threshold set is not defined or not enabled, the pair is ignored and the next pair is evaluated.

Use the following procedures to:

  • Identify the currently active threshold sets
  • Determine how those threshold sets are being used

To display currently active threshold sets

  1. Display the THRACT view  below.

  2. To see which calendar period is causing a threshold set to be active, use the Causing Cal Period hyperlink to display the CALDEF view.

To determine how threshold sets are being used

  1. Display the THRSELS view below.

  2. Use the EXP hyperlink to display the THREXPL view for a specific threshold selection and the element to which it applies.

    The THREXPL view provides the following information:

    • List of all threshold sets for the element, with those that are included in the threshold selection listed first (In Thr Select field)
    • Status of each threshold set definition (Thresh Def Status field)

    Any status other than ENABLED means the threshold set definition is not currently available for use. A status of UNDEFINED means the threshold set was named in the threshold selection, but it was never defined.

    • Indication of which threshold set in the threshold selection is currently active (Act field)
    • Calendar period associated with the threshold set, including:
      • calendar period definition status (Period Def Status field)
      • calendar period’s current state (Period State field)

    Note

    You can also display THREXPL from the THRACT view by using these hyperlinks:

    • Current Set on THRACT to display THRSET for a specific threshold set
    • >THRSEL on THRSET to display THRSEL for the threshold selection where the threshold set is being used
    • >THREXPL on THRSEL to display THREXPL
