Scheduling SmartVue data collection
The SmartVue app doesn't display real-time data. Instead, it updates the data once a day. You can change this default frequency in the SmartVue Configuration dialog.
Each widget in the SmartVue iOS application is driven by a series of database queries. These queries need to run periodically, and the app then displays data based on the last time the queries ran. For more information, see Modifying SmartVue widgets.
When you first run SmartVue on your core server, you may want to start an immediate data collection cycle so that you have some data to see in the app.
To schedule an immediate SmartVue data collection cycle
- In the management console, click Configure > SmartVue configuration, then click the Scheduler page.
- Click Start now, and click OK.
- Monitor the task progress in the scheduled tasks tool. Click Tools > Distribution > Scheduled tasks, and click All tasks > SmartVue.
Once you have some SmartVue data in the database, you can configure a periodic data collection schedule. Most widgets gather data monthly, so running data collection once a day usually works fine.
To schedule a periodic SmartVue data collection cycle
- In the management console, click Configure > SmartVue configuration, then click the Scheduler page.
- Click Repeat.
- Select an Hourly, Daily, or Weekly schedule.
- Configure the interval you selected.
- Click OK.
