You can use this function to display and change scheduled analyses and create new ones. Since the extractors do not supply results for complex reports (for example, for calculating the time-based data distribution), you have to schedule additional analyses for these cases. You need analyses for complex reports in the following areas:
To be able to schedule systems in new analyses and change their configuration, you have to fulfill the following requirements:
You have the necessary authorization.
You have carried out the setup for the managed systems and DVM. For more information, see SAP Solution Manager Basic Configuration.
You can create new analyses by choosing the Create pushbutton and then following the guided procedure.
Note
Only one user can create new analyses at any one time.
You can change and delete analyses in edit mode, but you cannot completely change an analysis, because of the complexity of the analysis definition. If the business reference of an analysis has changed, delete the analysis and create a new one for the current business context.
The table in the analysis overview shows the following information for the currently scheduled analyses:
Table Name
System ID
Analysis Type
Age of Record Determination
