Aggregation Configuration Settings

The System Configuration | Reporting screen in the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications interface includes the following settings related to aggregation:

• Aggregation denial folding interval—Enables you to specify the window (in seconds) during which identical denials should be considered part of the same denial event.

• Aggregation segment size—Enables you to specify the number of days of usage data that the aggregation process will consider at one time.

• Earliest date in data warehouse—To reduce the size of the data warehouse, and the time the aggregation process takes, the aggregation will be limited to only consider usage data that occurs after this date. This could be useful if you have imported a large amount of data from report logs, but are interested only in reporting on the most recent data.

• Project Parsing Regular Expression—If your Project Name field contains data in addition to the project name, this field enables you to specify which part of the Project Name string you want FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications to consider when usage data is aggregated. (This field is for use primarily by Platform Computing customers.)
