Schedule Performance Definitions

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

Before you can schedule a performance definition, your user ID and password must be made available to the SAS Metadata Repository. You must also sign in to SAS Decision Manager using your full user credentials that were specified for your user account in SAS Management Console. For user accounts where a Microsoft Windows user ID is specified, you must enter your user ID in the format of domain\userID. Contact your system administrator to add or update your password, and to determine the correct user credentials for your user account.

You cannot edit a schedule for a performance definition. 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 on the Performance page.
