information map
An information map has the same name as its corresponding source table. (Example: MonthShiftDisk)
In the IT Data Marts tree: <IT data mart name>then select<adapter type><number>then selectDomain Categoriesthen select<domain category>.
information map filter (date type)
Includes descriptive words that show the performance area first, then a descriptor, the type of metric, and a statistic. (Examples: MemoryUsagePctWMean, PagesFreedRateMax)
In the Information Map transformation that is part of the information map job. Information map filters are available on the Information Map Parameters tab of the Information Map transformation properties.
Mixed case with no spaces.
information map filter (statistic type)
Includes descriptive words and components that are based on the following guidelines:
  • The first two characters (if the filter is based on a rank column from a joined table) show which level the column comes from. For example, D_ for Day level table, W_ for Week level table, M_ for Month level table, or nothing when it is not from a joined table.
  • The text string Top or Bot corresponds to ascending or descending order.
  • The data item name on which the column is based, when appropriate, is included.
  • The text string DescRank or AscRank is included to show the rank order when appropriate.
(Examples: BotMemoryAvailableMB, TopCpuBusyPct)
In the Information Map transformation that is part of the information map job. Information map filters are available on the Information Map Parameters tab of the Information Map transformation properties.
Mixed case with no spaces.
information map job
<domain category> Information Map (Example: Disk Information Map)
In the IT Data Marts tree: <IT data mart name>then select<adapter type><number>then selectDomain Categoriesthen select<domain category>.
Information Map transformation
<time period><measurement category> (Example: MonthShiftDisk)
An active Information Map transformation is in the information map job. A template to create your own Information Map transformation is in the Transformations tree in ITRM Transformations.
  • The same name as the aggregation table that it uses.
  • Cannot contain double quotation marks.

<TimePeriod>Job<DataSourceName> (Example: DayJobDetailSystem)
An active Gallery transformation is in the reporting job. A template to create your own Gallery transformation is in the Transformations tree in ITRM Transformations.
Transformation names cannot contain double quotation marks.
ITRM Gallery task
<Resource><FilterDescription><GraphType><TimePeriod> (Example: SystemCpuHighUsagePlotForTheDay)
The last object in a branch of a process flow in a SAS Enterprise Guide project.
The ITRM Gallery task name is the same as the report definition that it creates.
