Clarification on Indicator Source Frequency vs Indicator Job Frequency in Performance Analytics

[rubesh_u]

I have a question regarding how frequency works in Performance Analytics.

In my setup:

- The Indicator Source has Valid for frequency = Daily

- The Indicator Job is configured to run Hourly

I want to understand how these two settings interact. From my understanding:

 - The Indicator Source restricts the indicator to be Daily

- The Indicator Job runs every hour and updates the value

My questions are:

1.Does the hourly job overwrite the same daily score multiple times throughout the day?

2.Will only the latest value of the day be stored?

Hi @rubesh_u,

Answers:

1. Yes.

• The Indicator Source Frequency = Daily defines a single daily time.
• Every time the hourly Indicator Job runs.
• Performance Analytics: Recalculates the indicator value & writes it to the same daily score record.
• Each run performs an update on the same row in pa_scores.

So, the value is recomputed and overwritten multiple times during the day, but always in the same daily record.

2. Yes.

• Because the frequency is Daily, Performance Analytics allows only one stored data point per day. Hourly calculations are not retained.
• At the end of the day, the stored value represents the result of the last hourly job that ran that day.
• Past days are not touched again once the date changes.
