 Use this panel to specify a schedule for repetitions of the measurement.
 Input the above fields and press ENTER to generate dates and times for
 each of the measurements. These dates/times will be shown below in a
 scrollable table which you can add to by repeating this input process.

Using this panel to create a future schedule is explained in the example below. Note that there are also important fields on panel 8 related to future schedules.

Example of creating a Future Schedule

If a user wanted to measure a job every Wednesday night at 8:00 pm, and every Friday night at 11:00 pm, for 10 weeks, starting on Wednesday Dec. 8, 2004, it would be set up like this:

  1. Enter the first Wednesday date in the Date (yy mm dd) field: 04 12 08.
  2. Enter 10 in the Repeat __ times field.
  3. Enter 20:00 in the Time (hh mm) field.
  4. Enter 7 in the After __ days field. (To indicate that is repeats each 7 days).

    The screen would look like this:

   ********** End of Schedule *********

Your schedule dates have now all been generated. Also see panel 8 below for additional data regarding future schedules.

Note:
If you are entering a multiple job request (using the % wildcard in the job name field), then you can only set one date and time. No repetitions are allowed.

Panel 7 input fields

First Schedule Date
Specify a starting date for a new sequence of recurring schedule date/time entries.
Schedule Repeat Count
Specify a repeat count. This is the number of measurement recurrences to be generated and added to the schedule. The maximum value that can be entered in this field is 99. Application Performance Analyzer will accept a schedule with up to 105 repeats.

To generate a schedule with more than 99 repeats, you must generate two schedules for the same request. After generating the repeats for the first schedule, remain in Panel 7 and generate another schedule for the remaining repeats.

First Schedule Time
Specify a starting time for a new sequence of recurring schedule date/time entries.
Interval in Days
Specify the interval, in days, between each measurement recurrence to be added to the schedule.
Interval in Minutes
Specify the interval, in minutes, between each measurement recurrence to be added to the schedule.
