INTERVAL subcommand option
The INTERVAL subcommand option defines the interval of time when
data is summarized.
Usage
The INTERVAL subcommand option is used to
define the interval of time when data is summarized.
INTERVAL is used
with the GLOBAL command and the REDUCE subcommand.
Usage notes
- If INTERVAL is not specified, the interval specified in the GLOBAL command
is used. If no interval is specified in GLOBAL, the default is 0 and all records
are summarized and treated as one record.
- INTERVAL processing uses a lot of system resource. Always use the largest
interval that meets your reporting requirements. If interval processing is
not required, the default INTERVAL (0) is recommended for optimum processing.
Rules
- The interval range is from 0 to 99 999 and is specified in minutes.
- An interval of 15 specifies that entries are calculated within each 15-minute
period.
- An interval of 0 specifies that data is summarized over the entire reduction
period.
