How to specify general processing options
Settings ---> Options ---> General starts the dialog shown in Figure 1, where you select the options that you want to be active:
Figure 1. Processing options
The options have the following meaning:
| Dialog option | Description |
|---|---|
| Create Overview Records | Select this option to create Overview Records using the overview
control statements contained in a file that is attached to the current
system. If a file with overview control statement is attached to the current system, but this option is not selected, then a readable Postprocessor Overview Report is generated according to the overview control statements contained in this file. However, you cannot process this report with spreadsheets. If no file containing overview control statements is attached, then this option is ignored and the Working Set is generated with the selected RMF™ Postprocessor report types. |
| Delete Postprocessor Datasets after Download | Remote Report Listings or Overview Records on the host are deleted after a successful download to the workstation. |
| Ignore specified Duration Period | No DINTV control statement is generated from the interval options so that no duration reports will be created (see How to specify reporting periods and duration intervals). |
| Ignore specified Interval Time | No RTOD control statement is generated from the interval options. The default from 00:00 to 24:00 is used (see How to specify reporting periods and duration intervals). |
| Save Password with System Profile | The password that you specified for a system in dialogs Define new System or System Properties is saved but not encrypted. Otherwise you are prompted for the password for all actions that require a host logon. |
| Scratch Overview Records after Conversion | The Spreadsheet Reporter deletes local Overview Records (*.rec files) after Working Set generation. |
| Scratch Report Listings after Conversion | The Spreadsheet Reporter deletes local Report Listings (*.lis files) after Working Set generation. |
| Scratch extracted OVW Files after Conversion | The Spreadsheet Reporter deletes local .OVW files after generating Working Sets from Overview Records. |
| Scratch extracted RPT Files after Conversion | The Spreadsheet Reporter deletes local .RPT files after generating Working Sets from Report Listings. |
| Sort SMF Datasets | You can specify whether the SMF data should be sorted. To ensure correct reports, the records in an SMF data set must be sorted by interval start date and interval start time. |
| Use XML Report Format | The Spreadsheet Reporter generates local Report Listings with extension .xml for certain Postprocessor report types. You can view these reports in a web browser. |
