Section 1, Task 3: Create a Test PDB and Process, Reduce, and Report on Your Data

Create a test PDB and add one or more tables to it or create tables in it. Process your data into the table(s), reduce the data, generate reports on the data, and view the reports.

1. You have logged data for approximately six hours to one day, depending on the amount of data that you want to collect.
   
   
2. You have determined which day is considered the start of the week at your site.

   Since some data in IT Service Vision performance data bases is summarized and reported by week, you will need to determine what day should be start-of-week for your data. At some sites, a week is defined to run from Sunday through Saturday; other sites define a week to run from Monday through Sunday; and so on. The default start-of-week is Sunday.

   You may want to check with other performance areas at your site to check that all areas are using the same day as the start of the week so that all the reports are consistent.

Note:

1. Create your test PDB.
2. Process and reduce your data.
3. Generate one or more reports on the data in your test PDB.
4. Display your reports.
