HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor Software v6.0 User Guide

P9000 Performance Advisor is supposed to generate a report on the second Thursday of every
month at 00:00 hours. Hence, the schedule is active and a report is generated on 11th
September 2008 at 00:00 hours.
The End Time for this schedule displays 12.11.2008 00:00:00, which means the last report
that HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor generates is on 11th December 2008 at 00:00 hours.
This is because, while creating the schedule, the number of times it should repeat is given as
4 in the Occurrence box. It implies that the schedule repeats only four times before it is
automatically deleted.
Hence, in addition to 11th September 2008, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor also executes
the schedule on 9th October, 13th November, and 11th December 2008.
