Calendar periods
-
Cannot span past midnight
-
Can be a span of contiguous time up to a week
-
Can be used to define quarterly and yearly periods
-
Have only one time span
Correct Answer
A. Cannot span past midnightExplanation
This answer suggests that calendar periods cannot extend beyond midnight. In other words, a calendar period cannot start on one day and end on the following day. This is because calendar periods are typically defined as continuous spans of time within a single day, week, quarter, or year. Therefore, they cannot cross over into the next day by including time past midnight.Rate this question:

Threshold sets define
-
Comparison values and display attributes
-
When specific comparison values should be utilized
-
Whether dynamic thresholds should be used or not
-
When a shift change usually occurs
Correct Answer
A. Comparison values and display attributesExplanation
Threshold sets are used to define comparison values and display attributes. They determine when specific comparison values should be utilized and whether dynamic thresholds should be used or not. These sets help in setting benchmarks and determining if a certain value falls within acceptable limits or not. Additionally, they also specify the display attributes that should be applied when these thresholds are met or exceeded. Overall, threshold sets play a crucial role in monitoring and analyzing data by providing a clear indication of when certain values require attention or action.Rate this question:

-
On the mainframe before the metric data is retrieved by the workstation
-
Once a day at a time selected during the installaion of the TA server on the workstation
-
Every time the "Study" is reopened
-
Each time that there is a change in the factors being selected for the study (business week definition, statistical processing range, target system, etc.) or the objects for which the threshold is being calculated (workloads, systems, etc.)
Correct Answer
A. Each time that there is a change in the factors being selected for the study (business week definition, statistical processing range, target system, etc.) or the objects for which the threshold is being calculated (workloads, systems, etc.)Explanation
The recommended threshold values in TA need to be recalculated each time there is a change in the factors being selected for the study, such as the business week definition, statistical processing range, target system, etc. This is also applicable when there is a change in the objects for which the threshold is being calculated, such as workloads, systems, etc.Rate this question:
