Calculation

If you have configured an active KPI and you have modified or configured its formula, filter, or threshold, the value, status, and trend of the KPI, and of the related Objectives, must be recalculated to display the corresponding data, in the Dashboard. You perform the calculation for the current period of each KPI within the selected business context.

  • The total number of KPI Breakdowns (STUDIO and on-Demand) is limited to 5000 per dimension.
  • If the calculation of a KPI or Metric ends in error, check the engine.log for a number of Breakdowns being larger than the default value. You can update the default value in $HPBA_Home\glassfish\glassfish\domains\BTOA\config\settings\engine-settings.xml to be more or less 5000. 5000 is the recommended breakdown size. Larger numbers may bring performance and stabilization issue.

ClosedPerform a Calculation After Configuration Change

This task includes the following steps:

  1. Prerequisite

    You have created or modified the formula, filter, or threshold definition of a KPI. For details, see KPI or Metric Formula or KPI or Metric Filter.

  2. Calculate for the current period

    When you change the definition of a KPI (formula or threshold), the change impacts the KPI's value and impacts the Objectives related to the KPI. You may want to perform the calculation for each KPI in the selected business context for the period specified in the KPI configuration, so the impact of the change is felt immediately in the results displayed in the Dashboard.

    To calculate the current data:

    1. In the Active KPIs pane, click the Calculation options button in the Active KPIs toolbar, and select the   option.

    2. In the Calculate Now dialog box that opens:

      • In Universe/context for recalculation, select the relevant context (data source) you want to use for the recalculation.

      • Select the I understand the implications of this process and would like to proceed with the calculation option to proceed with the calculation.

      Limitations: You perform the calculation for the current period of each KPI within the selected business context.

    3. Click Calculate.

      4. The calculation is performed for all KPIs and Objectives with the selected context (universe).

    Note  

    • The calculation deletes the data that was available for the same period as the period selected for the calculation.
    • No backup is available.

  3. Results

    The calculated data is displayed in the relevant components in the Dashboard.

ClosedCalculate Now Dialog Box
