Siemens U3585-J-Z125-8-76 1, SM2 monitoring system manual Interval, =Controlled

Statements for nonprivileged users	OUTPUT
INTERVAL	Specifies the output mode.
=number	Specifies automatic output mode (see page 154).
	“number” defines the output cycle during which the reports are to be
	output at regular intervals.
	This can be an integer between 10 and 3600 seconds.
	The INTERVAL=number specification is not mandatory. If it is
	omitted, SM2 inserts the value for the output cycle by using the
	value of the online monitoring cycle (default). An exception to this is
	the first output cycle, in which the reports are output in direct
	succession. With a normal workload, the system requires approxi-
	mately one second to output a report. The value for the output cycle
	should be at least as large as the sum of the output times of the
	selected reports.
=CONTROLLED	Each report is output only at the request of the user (controlled
	mode). The reports of the last completely executed cycle are
	available for output. Each report can be requested using a paging
	statement (see page 152) once SM2 displays the ENTER
	COMMAND message. In place of the paging statements, any other
	statement can also be used to request the report. The statement
	OUTPUT INTERVAL=number can be used to switch to automatic
	output mode.

Note

Before changing the output cycle, please refer to “Relationship between the monitoring cycle and the output cycle” on page 153.

Example 1

OUTPUT INT=C

SM2 output is prompted via the data display terminal. Following every output operation, the user is requested to enter a command. SM2 then executes the statement. The user also has the option of controlling report output.

Example 2

OUTPUT TER=NO,HC=YES

SM2 output is to the SYSLST system file. There is no output to the data display terminal. Output takes place in automatic mode. The analysis period is equal to the monitoring cycle.
