}TimeIntervals

This dimension contains 168 numeric elements for time intervals at the minute and hour level, as follows:

• 120 elements corresponding to the minutes of the current and the prior hour. Elements in the current hour are named 0M00, 0M01, ... 0M59. Elements in the prior hour are named 1M00, 1M01, ... 1M59.

Sampling for the performance monitoring cubes is done every minute. New values are stored in consecutive minutes of the current hour. When the hour is complete, the values of the current hour are copied to the prior hour, and the current hour is cleared to accept new values.

• 48 elements corresponding to the hours of the current and the prior day. Elements in the current day are named 0H00, 0H01, ... 0H23. Elements for the previous day are named 1H00, ... 1H01, 1H23. Every hour, a new summary (average) value from the minutes is posted in the corresponding hourly element. When the day is over, the current day's data replaces that of the prior day and the current day is cleared to accept new data.

Hours and minutes in this dimension reflect the system clock time when you started the performance monitor. For example, if you start the performance monitor at 10:31 AM local system time, the first }TimeIntervals element to receive a value is 0M31, which is the 31st minute of the current hour. The next element to receive a value would be 0M32.
