Summarizer

A description of the features supported by the Summarizer component and the summarization process.

The Summarizer component and the summarization process supports the following:

• Processing of summaries can be switched on and off. If summaries are switched on they will run if they are switched off they will not run.
• A Summary log file is written to the appserver log file directory in $WMCROOT/logs/as/default . This is a log for summaries ran by the scheduler.
• The start day of the week can be set. The start day of the week can vary depending on the geographical location. The summary process allows you to set the start day of the week to the day the user requires.

• The summarizer will summarize old loaded data automatically. When the summarizer process is started it detects whether old loaded data is loaded into the system. Data is defined as old loaded data if it is older than 1 day.

  If the old loaded data has already being summarized then it will be re-summarized and the old summary data is deleted and the new summary data is populated in the summary table. If the old loaded data is older than 1 week or 1 month it will cause weekly and monthly summaries to be re-calculated respectively.
