Collect Performance History Data actions

A String parameter or dataset that specifies the data retrieval method that the action will use. If you select:

• LiveCompareRfc the action retrieves performance history data using a function provided by LiveCompare’s SAP components. The action filters performance history data to remove objects that match the Regular Expression patterns stored in the ObjectTypeNamePatternsToIgnore External Data Source.

• SAPRfc the action retrieves performance history data using a native SAP function. The function called is specific to the RFC Destination’s SAP kernel release.

The Collect Performance History Data action doesn't use this property if the RFC Destination’s PHD tab has a schedule. In this case, the action uses the data retrieval method set in the schedule.

An Integer parameter or dataset that specifies how many months of performance history data to retrieve (N). The Collect Performance History Data action retrieves the most recent N months of performance history data. If you don’t set this property, the action uses 0 as the default value.

• The action uses this property if the RFC Destination’s PHD tab doesn't have a schedule.

• The action doesn't use this property the RFC Destination’s PHD tab has a schedule. In this case, N is the value set in the PHD tab’s Keep this many months of data field.
