Hints and tips

The following sections give hints and tips on process-related Performance Warehouse tasks.

Understanding the schedule string
When you specify a schedule for a process, the specifications you make in the Schedule Process window are reflected as a string in the Schedule of process field of the Process Properties window and in the At scheduled time field of the Process Schedule Properties window. This string can look as follows: 2007/1/16/*/16/58
Deleting process executions of processes scheduled ‘immediately’
If you run a process that is scheduled ‘immediately’ and delete the process execution entry within five minutes after the process has finished, the OMEGAMON® Collector runs the process again.
Reusing output data sets produced by a REPORT step
After a process has run, all output data sets on the host are stored in the Performance Warehouse database and removed from the host.
Deleting data permanently
To permanently delete data sets and files from the Performance Warehouse database, you must delete them in the Process Execution Details window or delete the appropriate process execution entry from the Process Executions pane of the Performance Warehouse window.
