The Processes view shows information about batch processes performance on the Warehouse work station. The Processes table in the Main area includes the following columns:• Node.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Node | The specific Precise framework installation. |
...
|
...
| Technology | The name of the technology that the process gathers data for. Processes that maintain the PMDB itself are listed, but the technology column remains empty. |
| Process |
...
The process name is a logical name that describes the process function. For example, “Calculate Baselines.” Two types of processes gather PMDB data. One process type includes processes that are part of the PMDB FocalPoint and run on the PMDB server, such as the Summarize Data process. The other process type includes processes that are part of another product, such as the Schema Changes process in a Microsoft SQL Server instance that Precise for SQL Server monitors. These processes run on the product’s server and on the PMDB FocalPoint, which is in charge of scheduling them. See “Batch processes in Precise” on page 75. |
| Product |
...
| The name of the product the process runs for. |
...
| Last Run |
...
| The last time the process that is named in this row ran. |
...
| Next Scheduled Run |
...
| Time when the process that is named in this row is scheduled to run again. |
...
| Status | An icon indicating the current status of the process that is named in this row. |
The current status of a process can be any of the following statuses:
The process is running.
The process completed successfully.

Under the Processes view (on the Warehouse workstation), you can run a process, view the execution history of a process, and configure the scheduling and the parameters of a process.
Manually running a process
All processes are scheduled to automatically run at the set interval, but you may also manually run a process whenever required. See “Process parameters” on page 70.
...
The process starts and the page refreshes to show the updated status icon.
Viewing the run history of a process
You can examine additional information about the past executions of a process, for example to find out which tables were affected during a specific execution or which component has failed during a run.
...
For example, if an error occurred, focus on the details in the Error Message column.
Process parameters
Specific parameters define the execution behavior of performance processes. These parameters function as a filter in that they determine exactly which information is collected and saved in the Warehouse workstation.

SQL Server Load Data
You can restrict the number of sessions that performance data is collected for by increasing the In
MS-SQL Time value. However, this value applies to the collapsed statement, including all of its children.
For example, if you set the In MS-SQL Time value to 2 and the collapsed statement includes five children that spent 1 second each in MS-SQL, this amounts to 5 seconds overall and causes Precise for SQL Server to collect the performance data for the collapsed statement, even though each child spent less than the defined 2 seconds in MS-SQL.
...
Click Edit Default Values.
In the Default Values dialog box, specify the values and click OK.
Unless instance-specific values override these values, they apply to all monitored instances.
To edit the values for a specific instance
Select an instance in the table. Click Edit.
In the Edit Instance dialog box, clear the Use Defaults check box. Specify the values to be used for this instance.
Click OK.
• In the Parameters dialog box, click OK.
...
You can also configure the Precise for Web URL mapping rule for a domain in a system: “Treat pages with different titles as different pages”. Select to view the URL along with the various titles that belong to it. The collected data includes page URLs and page titles. When cleared, you can only differentiate between different URLs, not between page titles. In this case, the collected data includes the page URL and the first page title for any URL in the system.
Scheduling processes
When the default scheduling settings do not match the requirements of your environment, you can manually schedule processes. Processes on the Warehouse workstation let you enable or disable each process. You can also schedule each process individually and run it at any frequency and interval - every 8 hours, hourly, daily, weekly, or by slice.
