Network Report Definition 7-9
Relative Time
Specifies the timing of the report as the time for each node or the NAC.
This field appears when "Interval" is selected for the Time Frame field. It
is offered because the network nodes and the NAC can be in different time
zones.
For example, assume the Meridian MAX sites are in Toronto, Dallas, and
Los Angeles, while the NAC site is in Toronto. To produce a report based
on network activity for all sites as of 12:00 noon EST, select the NAC time
in the Relative Time field. However, the nodal time can be selected to
produce a report based on the nodal activity for each site as of 12 p.m. local
time (for example, Toronto at 12 p.m. EST, Dallas at 12 p.m. CST, and Los
Angeles at 12 p.m. PST).
If a range of intervals is used and the Relative Time field is set to "NAC",
the selected range can not overlap more than one day. This is especially
crucial when nodes are in different time zones. If the NAC is in Toronto,
and one of the nodes is in Los Angeles, then the longest interval range
would be from 3:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. To capture the remainder of the
information, run another report with a start time of 00:00 (midnight) and
ending at 2:59 a.m. Conversely, if the NAC is in Los Angeles, and one of
the nodes is in Toronto, then the longest interval range would be from
00:00 (midnight) to 8:59 p.m. This restriction does not apply if the Relative
Time field is set to "Node".
Nodes to Query
Determines whether the report is for a specific node, range of nodes, or the
nodes and ACD-DNs/CDNs specified by a defined unit list (either an
ACD-DN Unit or a CDN Unit, as defined by the "List Management"
chapter). This field is common to all reports.
If querying to a specific node or a range of nodes, choose either "By Source
Node" or "By Destination Node". Only one of these choices is normally
present, depending on which is appropriate for the selected report format.
If querying by a unit list, select either "By ACD-Unit" or "By CDN Unit".
In both cases, the only nodes queried are those in the list selected by the
user. Further, if the user chooses "By ACD-DN Unit" and the selected report
format contains ACD-DNs, the report is limited to the ACD-DNs in the list.
Likewise, if the user chooses "By CDN Unit" and the selected report format
contains CDNs, the report is limited to the CDNs in the list.
