This section provides instructions for scheduling footprint reports. It is recommended that you read the considerations below before scheduling reports.
Consider the following when scheduling footprint reports:
• The queries required to compute a source’s footprint can be intensive, so you should schedule footprint reports to run only once a month at a time when the system load is expected to be low.
• To schedule a report, you can simply enable the default schedule or set a custom schedule. If you enable the default schedule, the report runs at 11 p.m. on the last day of each month.
• To set a custom schedule, you must specify the minute, hour, and day when you would like the report to run each month. Use the 24-hour format. For example, to run the report to run at 3 a.m. on the 15th day of every month, enter the following: 00:03:15. For more examples, see Examples of date and time entries for footprint reports .
• When you specify a day, the appliance interprets 29, 30, and 31 as the last day of the month regardless of how many days are actually in the month. For example, if you specify the day as 30, the report for February will run on the 28th. For more examples, see Examples of date and time entries for footprint reports .
• When the report completes, the appliance emails it to the addresses you entered in the System Report Mailing List when configuring notifications. If you need to set up email reporting, see About configuring notifications.
• The thirteen most recent reports are stored on the replication target appliance from which the reports are run.
