I’m looking
for help in terms of scheduling report generation. I would like to run
reports every Thursday that show performance for the 7 days previous but am
unsure how the '\LASTWEEK'
switch works.
Does this mean the report data generated will be for the Sunday - Sunday of
the previous week? Is there a way (automated) to specify for which 7 days
you'd like the data? For example I would like Wednesday – Wednesday.
From the microsoft.public.mom
newsgroup
The default in the provided batch files is '/LASTWEEK'
which is literally "last week". If today is Wednesday, you will get a report
for last week Sunday through Saturday. I have the same preference you do
which is previous 7 days. The MOM help file includes the options for the '/DATERANGE'
switch. I pasted them below for reference.
/DATERANGE:dates or /DR:dates
Specifies the dates for which to generate the specified report. The dates
variable can be set to one of the following values:
S=yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm E=yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm - Specifies the start and end date
and time for the report.
THISWEEK - Includes data from Sunday through Saturday of the current
week.
LASTWEEK - Includes data from Sunday through Saturday of the previous
week.
YESTERDAY - Includes data from the previous day.
TODAY - Includes data from the current day.
THISMONTH - Includes data from the first through last day of this month.
LASTMONTH - Includes data from the first through last day of the previous
month.
NOTE: If no other variables are used with the '/DATERANGE'
option the default values of 'S=1970-01-01'
and 'E=[today's date]'
are used.
/DAYS:n
Specifies the number of days of data to include in the specified report.
This option is evaluated along with the start or end date specified with the
/DATERANGE option. For example, this value specifies the number of days
included in the report after the specified start date, or before the
specified end date. If both a start and end date are specified, this option
has no effect. If the /DATERANGE option is not specified, this option
directs Microsoft Operations Manager 2000 to generate a report for the
number of previous days specified. The n variable can be from 1 to 999.
For the past 7 days, you would not use /DATERANGE, but instead use /DAYS:7.
You should check the MOM online documentation for more details in case of
omissions.
