Schedule Performance Monitoring Tasks :: SAS(R) Model Manager 12.3: User's Guide

Overview of Scheduling Performance Monitoring Tasks

After you create a performance monitoring task, you can create a schedule to execute the task to run on a specific day and at a specific time. You can schedule the task to run hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly.

Before you can schedule a performance task, the password for your user ID must be made available to the SAS Metadata Repository. Passwords can be added using SAS Management Console. To add or update your password, contact your SAS Model Manager Administrator.

You cannot edit performance monitoring schedules. To modify a schedule, delete the schedule and create a new schedule.

After performance monitoring jobs execute, you can view the job history using the Job History tab of the Performance Monitor node.
