8. Set the Collection Period as Daily, Weekly or Monthly. By default, Weekly is selected as the
collection schedule.
a. If you select Weekly as the collection period, then specify the Day of the Week.
This drop-down list displays the list of week days. Select the week day when you want the
schedule to be executed. Also choose a Start Time from the drop-down.
b. If you select Monthly as the collection schedule, the Monthly Scheduleis displayed. The
following options are provided in a monthly schedule:
• Based on Date, where you select a particular date in a month. The Date of the Month list is
enabled when you select Day, so you can choose a date of your choice.
• Based on Day, where you select a particular day in a week. The Day of the Week and Week
of the Month lists are enabled when you select Based on Day. Choose the day and the
corresponding week in a month for executing the schedule.
c. If you select Daily, provide the start and end time for the schedule. Select the Start Time as the
time when you want the schedule to be executed. The Start Time list displays the time in a 24–
hour format.
After a report is created as per the schedule, PA sends a notification informing the status of the
report execution to the specified email address.
9. In the No. of Occurrences box, provide the number of times the schedule must be executed. It is
mandatory to provide the number of times a schedule must be repeated (no. of occurrences).
For example, if you select Daily as the schedule frequency, the occurrence as 1, and start time as
9:00 a.m., it implies that the schedule is executed only once at 9:00 a.m. on that particular day. PA
generates a report that provides data for the past 24 hours considering that 9:00 a.m. is the start
time.
The Start Time and the No. of Occurrences are common for the Daily, Weekly, and the Monthly
collection schedules.
10. In the Email box, provide the recipient email address of the user who has to receive a notification
when the report is executed as per the schedule. The report is provided as an attachment to the
email notification. By default, email notifications are sent to administrator@localhost, which is the
common destination email address for all report notifications. You can also specify a different
destination email address on the Email Settings screen. The report notifications generated thereafter
are redirected to the new destination email address. For more information, see Configure reports
email settings.
11. Click Save. PA does the following:
a. As per the specified start time and schedule frequency, HPE XP7 Performance Advisor creates a
report and adds a record for that report in the Reports section (Reports > View Reports).
b. Provides the report as a file attachment to the email notification that is sent to the intended
recipients.
Click Reset anytime to clear the current selections and restore the default settings.
