Background documentationSpecifying a Dynamic Time-frame Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

To define a dynamic time-frame to be monitored, select a starting point and, optionally, an offset value.

Optional: Specify a time-frame end. By default, the system collects data until the current time.

To specify an offset value, use the following syntax: <placeholder><operator (+ or -)><offset value>. For more information, see the examples below.

Note Note

Days are calendar days, not only working days.

Week start is on Monday.

End of the note.

Caution Caution

Performance impairment

Long time-frames can severely impair performance on the managed system.

  • Specify the time-frame carefully.

  • To monitor longer time-frames, use SAP NetWeaver BW reporting.

End of the caution.
