Manually running an unscheduled analytics configuration

An Administrator can manually run an unscheduled analytics configuration at any stage. You choose the analytics type (related events or seasonal events) you want to run during the run unscheduled analytics operation.

Before you begin

The analytics configuration that you try to manually run cannot have a Related Event Status or Seasonality Status of Running. If you try to manually run an analytics configuration that is already running, the GUI displays a warning message.
Note: Sequentially running reports can take longer to complete than parallel running reports in previous releases.

Procedure

  1. Start the Configure Analytics portlet. See Viewing current analytics configurations.
  2. Within the list of analytics configurations that are displayed, select one configuration.
  3. From the toolbar, click the Run Selected Configuration icon. Some columns are updated for your selected analytics configuration.
    • The icon in the Seasonality Status or Related Event Status column changes to a time glass icon.
    • The text in the Seasonality Phase or Related Event Phase column changes to Waiting to Start.
    • The percentage in the Seasonality Phase Progress or Related Event Phase Progress column starts at 0% and changes to reflect the percentage complete for the phase.

Results

The analytics configuration is put into the queue for the scheduler to run. As the analytics configuration is running, the following columns are updated to communicate the progress of the run:
  • Seasonality Status or Related Event Status
  • Seasonality Phase or Related Event Phase
  • Seasonality Phase Progress or Related Event Phase Progress

What to do next

If you want to stop an analytics configuration that is in Running status, from the toolbar click the Stop Selected Configuration icon.
