HP Predictive Support CE Guide For HP 3000 Series 900

Setting the Automatic Scheduler 

HP Predictive Support should be run on a daily basis.  Either of two
methods is recommended:

   *   Preferred:  Automatic Scheduler in psconfig 

   *   Alternate Preferred:  Daily Backup Routine


CAUTION Do not run HP Predictive Support during a store; do not start a store during an HP Predictive Support run. HP Predictive Support functionality is impacted under either of these conditions.
Through the Automatic Scheduler HP Predictive Support has a scheduler that, when set to on, runs HP Predictive Support according to a daily schedule, or when set to off does not automatically run HP Predictive Support. With the automatic scheduler, each day can be scheduled individually, turned off, or run at the default run time. * From the Main Menu: Type 4 5 or configure schedule. * From the Configure Options menu: Type 5 or schedule. This displays the Configure Predictive Schedule Menu: __________________________________________________________________________________ | | | | | | | | | ************************************************************************ | | | | M (MainMenu) P (PreviousMenu) R (Refresh) H (Help) E (Exit) | | | | | | Configure Predictive Schedule | | | | 1 - SCHEDULE (on/off) [ON] | | 2 - DEFAULT Run Time [12:00 AM] | | 3 - MONDAY [Default] | | 4 - TUESDAY [Default] | | 5 - WEDNESDAY [Default] | | 6 - THURSDAY [Default] | | 7 - FRIDAY [Default] | | 8 - SATURDAY [Default] | | 9 - SUNDAY [Default] | | | | | | Type an item number, an item key, or a command: | | | __________________________________________________________________________________ Figure 4-9. Configure Predictive Schedule Menu Turning the Schedule On/Off. To turn the schedule on: * Type 1 or schedule at the prompt and press Return. * Type on and press Return. To turn the schedule off: * Type 1 or schedule at the prompt and press Return. * Type off and press Return. Changing the Default Run Tine. The default run time is assigned randomly between 11:00pm and 4:55am to keep the HP Response Center from receiving transfer from a large number of systems at the same time. This randomly assigned time then becomes the time at which HP Predictive Support begins a run on a given day when the schedule is on, and a specific time is not configured for that day. 1. Type 2 or default. 2. Type the time of day. Use am or pm (see Note). Specifying a Run Time for a Given Day. To specify the run time for a specific day, 1. Type the item number (for example, 3) or item key (for example, monday). 2. If you wish to use the default run time, type default, or If you wish to run at a specific time, type in the time of day (specifying am or pm), or If you do not wish to run HP Predictive Support, type off.
NOTE * Midnight is 12:00am, while Noon or mid-day is 12:00pm. You may also specify 24-hour time, for example, 2300 is 11:00pm. * If you wish to run HP Predictive Support from the schedule, the entered time must be at least 10 minutes since its last run. * The psconfig interface automatically saves any changes when you exit the menu.
