Setting Up Statistics Collection

Use the Properties view of your managed resource to create a data collection job and add a schedule to the job.
For best performance, Sybase recommends these guidelines for scheduling data collection jobs:
  • Schedule only one collection job for each collection.
  • Set the collection interval to 60 seconds or more.
  1. In the Perspective Resources view, select a resource and select Resource > Properties.
  2. Select Collection Jobs.
  3. Click Create Job. The Create Collection Job window opens.
  4. If this resource has not been authenticated yet, the Authentication page appears. Enter a user name and password that Sybase Control Center can use to log in to the resource. Then click Authenticate to allow Sybase Control Center to verify your credentials.
  5. Select the data collection that this job will run and click Next.
  6. (Optional) If you do not want to create a schedule yet, click to uncheck Create a schedule for this job.
  7. Specify details for the new schedule:
    New schedule details
    Field Description
    Name A name for this schedule
    Description A description of the schedule
    Start date The day when the schedule will take effect
    Time The time when the schedule will take effect
    Note: Enter dates and times using the server’s local time.
  8. Choose an option to specify the duration of this schedule:
    • Run once
    • Repeat until

      For Repeat until, specify these details:

      Field Description
      Repeat interval Interval, in seconds, between recurrences to be added to the schedule
      Repeat until End date
      Time Time when the job is to end
    • Repeat indefinitely

      For Repeat indefinitely, specify these details:

      Field Description
      Repeat interval Interval, in seconds, between recurrences to be added to the schedule
