Setting IPM Database Preferences

The day is divided into increments of one hour, starting at 0:00 a.m. (ipm_business_hour_0) and ending at 11:59 p.m. (ipm_business_hour_23=0). For the hours you want to include in averages, set the hour interval value to 1.

For example, to store collected statistics over a business day that runs from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., you would use the following setting:

ipm_business_hour_0=0 ipm_business_hour_1=0 ipm_business_hour_2=0 ipm_business_hour_3=0 ipm_business_hour_4=0 ipm_business_hour_5=0 ipm_business_hour_6=0 ipm_business_hour_7=0 ipm_business_hour_8=1 ipm_business_hour_9=1 ipm_business_hour_10=1 ipm_business_hour_11=1 ipm_business_hour_12=1 ipm_business_hour_13=1 ipm_business_hour_14=1 ipm_business_hour_15=1 ipm_business_hour_16=1 ipm_business_hour_17=0 ipm_business_hour_18=0 ipm_business_hour_19=0 ipm_business_hour_20=0 ipm_business_hour_21=0 ipm_business_hour_22=0 ipm_business_hour_23=0

By default, the business day is defined as 24 hours, 0:00 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.

To set the business days used for calculating weekly and monthly averages, you must turn on or off the appropriate day. Each day of the week is represented by a number as follows:

•Sunday is ipm_business_day_0

•Monday is ipm_business_day_1

•Tuesday is ipm_business_day_2

•Wednesday is ipm_business_day_3

•Thursday is ipm_business_day_4

•Friday is ipm_business_day_5

•Saturday is ipm_business_day_6

For the days you want to set as business days, set the day to a value of 1. Days with a value of 0 are not counted as business days.
