ERT Parameters
Client-wide variables that contain the relevant parameters for the Estimated Runtime (ERT) calculation.
The ERT parameters cover the following variables:
ERT_ADAPTIVE
-
Description:
Activation or deactivation of adaptive ERT calculation for the entire Client
Deactivating ERT_ADAPTIVE means that the tasks for which the dynamic ERT method Adaptive has been defined in the Runtime Page will use the alternative method ERT_ADAPTIVE_FALLBACK_METHOD.
-
Allowed values:
-
Y
Activates adaptive ERT calculation
-
N
Deactivates adaptive ERT calculation
-
-
Restart required:
No
ERT_ADAPTIVE_DEFAULT_CONTEXT
-
Description:
Information that should be considered for adaptive ERT calculation. You can also specify any object attributes; these must be separated by semicolons. The following factors are considered by default:
- Parent alias
- Parent name
- Agent (for File Transfers, both the target and the source Agent)
- Start time
-
Allowed values:
-
FIXED
Static predefined value
-
AVERAGE
Dynamically retrieved average value
-
LINEAR REGRESSION
Dynamic value, based on linear regression
-
MAXIMUM
Dynamic value, based on the longest actual runtime
-
-
Default value:
LINEAR REGRESSION
-
Restart required:
No
ERT_ADAPTIVE_FALLBACK_METHOD
Also used if the JWP is not available to handle adaptive ERT calculation
-
Description:
Alternative method for calculating the ERT if adaptive calculation is not possible
-
Allowed values:
-
FIXED
Static predefined value
-
AVERAGE
Dynamically retrieved average value
-
LINEAR REGRESSION
Dynamic value, based on linear regression
-
MAXIMUM
Dynamic value, based on the longest actual runtime
-
-
Default value:
LINEAR REGRESSION
-
Restart required:
No
The Automation Engine can calculate the estimated runtime (ERT).
-
Description:
Deactivating ERT calculation can slightly improve the performance of your Automation Engine. Despite this, you can still calculate the ERT of all objects subsequently in the database. Use the utility AE DB Load for this purpose and load the file UC_UPD_ESTIMATE_ERT.TXT. It depends on the number of objects that are involved how long the ERT calculation process takes.
The file UC_UPD_ESTIMATE_ERT.TXT contains a line at its end that activates the ERT calculation function for the whole AE system. You can specify a client if ERT calculation should only take place in a specific Client.
Example:
ESTIMATE_ERT 1000
All keys below that start with "ERT_" form the default values for ERT calculation. You can adjust them in the Runtime Page of the individual objects, if required.
-
Allowed values:
-
BATCH
Deactivates ERT calculation
-
IMMEDIATE
Activates ERT calculation
-
-
Default value:
IMMEDIATE
-
Restart required:
No
ERT_CHECK_COUNT
-
Description:
Number of runs that should be evaluated
-
Allowed values:
Two-digit value between 1 and 25
-
Default value:
20
-
Restart required:
No
ERT_CORR_PERCENT
-
Description:
Positive correction value in percent
-
Allowed values:
Up to three-digit values
-
Default value:
0
-
Restart required:
No
ERT_FRT
-
Description:
Fixed value for the ERT in seconds
-
Allowed values:
Up to three-digit values
-
Default value:
0
-
Restart required:
No
ERT_IGNORE_PERCENT
-
Description:
Deviation in percent
-
Allowed values:
Up to three-digit values
-
Default value:
0
-
Restart required:
No
ERT_METHOD
-
Description:
Method that is used to evaluate the ERT (Runtime Page)
-
Allowed values:
-
FIXED
Static predefined value
-
AVERAGE
Dynamically determined average
-
LINEAR REGRESSION
Dynamic value based on linear regression
-
MAXIMUM
Dynamic value based on the longest actual runtime
-
ADAPTIVE
Intelligent ERT calculation that considers various factors and runtime parameters
-
-
Default value:
LINEAR_REGRESSION
-
Restart required:
No
ERT_MINIMUM_COUNT
-
Description:
Minimum number of runs that should be considered for deviation
-
Allowed values:
Two-figure value between 1 and ERT_CHECK_COUNT
-
Default value:
0
-
Restart required:
No
