Chapter 4 Modifying IPM Components
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.
