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

When you are working with the test PDB, as you are in this task, it is convenient to do the actions interactively. Thus, this task is described in terms of the IT Service Vision GUI.

When you are working with the production PDB, as you will be in Section 2, it is convenient to schedule the steps as a job in background (using a task scheduler such as cron on Unix or the System Agent on Windows). Thus, the corresponding task in Section 2 will be described in terms of a background job and scheduled as a background job.

In order to have a background job to work with in Section 2, this task will save the background form of the interactive job. After you save it, you can ignore it until Section 2 refers to it.
