Process interval

Process interval accounting collects process-related information.

The process interval is used to capture information about long-running jobs such as data modeling applications that run for months. The standard process completion record is sufficient for most processes. Therefore, the process interval should be relatively large, so that it does not produce unnecessary data. The process interval writes a record for every active process, including newly started jobs. In some situations this can amount to a large number of records, so the process interval should be set to capture information once per day (1 440 minutes). However, if process records are being aggregated automatically by the system, then set the process interval for once per hour.
