Insight Properties Setup 
System administrators set up Insight properties for each application set:
Features
Different properties control different areas of the system:
System tasks define general system settings.
Offline tasks are Insight calculation tasks invoked during the Offline Scheduler synchronization process for which you can specify the frequency in seconds that each task is invoked.
Content service tasks determine how frequently the system updates the content relevancy map.
Synchronize tasks indicate what is included in the synchronization process.
The following table describes the Insight system properties you can set for the System task:
Key ID |
Description |
Default Value |
|---|---|---|
Correlation Threshold |
(Optional) The minimum correlation factor between KPIs or KPI and event data, calculated by the specified regression, used in the KPI predictor and root cause. |
.45 |
Minimum Sample Size |
(Optional) The minimum number of periods to use to calculate the specified regression used in the KPI predictor and root cause. If there are less than 6 periods of data, there are no predictions or root cause. |
6 |
Sample Size |
(Optional) The number of months to use to calculate the regression used in the KPI predictor and root cause. If there are more than 12 periods of data available, only use the 12 periods prior to the current reporting period. |
12 |
MaxRelevantKPINum |
The limit of correlated KPIs that are used to calculate the prediction of a KPI. |
6 |
TableSpan |
The number of previous time period actuals and post time period budget data for querying KPI data. It is used in the scheduled task of KPI Row Performance. |
2 |
Maximum Document Number |
The maximum number of content library documents to display in the Variance Analysis window. |
15 |
Maximum Variance Reason Number |
The number of reasons to display in the Variance Analysis window. |
6 |
Prediction Time Lag |
The time period on which to base the variance. 0 = current period; 1 = last period; 2 = two periods ago, and so on. |
0 |
The following table describes the Insight system properties you can set for the Content Service task:
Key ID |
Description |
Default Value |
Index Time |
The interval (in seconds) to index the documents in the Content Library that have changed since the last time it was indexed. For example, once Document A is indexed, the system knows that Document A is made up of keywords like finance, P_L, 2005. The system can search for other documents that are relevant to Document A, but Document A does not show up if the system searches for keyword Finance if it is not committed yet. See Commit Time below. |
7200 |
Commit Time |
Amount of time (in seconds) that the system finds relevant documents in the Content Library and stores them for use in the Variance Context. Continuing with the previous example, once Document A is committed, the system stores Document A. As a result, the system's key word weighting system might change. After the system commits the document, it will display if the system searches for keyword Finance. |
7200 |
Removal Time |
The interval (in seconds) for the Removal background task to remove the documents that are no longer posted to the Content Library. |
432000 |
The following table describes the Insight system properties you can set for the Offline Task task:
Key ID |
Description |
Default Value |
KPI Prediction |
The frequency (in seconds) at which the system generates the predicted KPI value for next time period. |
-1 |
KPI Association |
The frequency (in seconds) at which the system calculates association (based on the specified regression algorithm) among KPIs. KPI association is used to predicate KPI at risk |
292000 |
Query KPI Alert |
The frequency (in seconds) at which the system generates KPI alert data. |
-1 |
KPI Row Performance |
The frequency (in seconds) at which the system generates KPI Performance data, including actual values for the current time period and previous time period, budget values for the current time period and next time period, performance band, and so on. |
-1 |
KPI Analysis |
The frequency (in seconds) at which the system generates the top three reasons for each KPI variance, and saves in the cache. |
-1 |
KPI Root Cause |
The frequency (in seconds) at which the system generates the root causes of variances. |
-1 |
The following table describes the Insight system properties you can set for the Synchronize Task task:
Key ID |
Description |
Default Value |
KPI Prediction |
Controls whether to include the KPI prediction values in the synchronization. |
True |
KPI Association |
Controls whether to include the KPI association values in the synchronization. |
False |
Query KPI Alert |
Controls whether to include the KPI alert values in the synchronization. |
True |
KPI Row Performance |
Controls whether to include the KPI row performance values in the synchronization. |
True |
KPI Analysis |
Controls whether to include the KPI analysis values in the synchronization. |
True |
KPI Root Cause |
Controls whether to include the root cause values in the synchronization. |
True |
