Iteration

Iterations list the individual values of a criterion or form a grouping based on criteria values. The individual elements of a list are called iteration steps. Multiple iterations can be combined.

Example

In the example, an iteration using the Maintenance criterion returns a list of the following iteration steps. Iteration step OS upgrade is listed only once because only distinct values are shown.

Maintenance

Virus scanner

OS upgrade

HDD change

An iteration using the criteria Host and Maintenance returns the following iteration steps.

Host

Maintenance

Win

Virus scanner

Win

OS upgrade

Mac

OS upgrade

Mac

HDD change

The list shows which host underwent what maintenance. In line with the default iteration behavior, the Linux host is not displayed because Linux has not undergone any maintenance yet.

Tables not required for linking the queried criteria do not have any effect on the query result.

Iterable measures

You can mark a measure criterion as iterable in the analysis realm configuration. The same conditions as in the process analysis configuration apply.

Such a measure can be iterated using a specific step width. The step width has a defined default step width, but you can change this in a dialog. The procedure for setting the step width is the same as in process analysis and described in the PPM online help.

Only linear step widths are supported. User-defined iteration steps and logarithmic step widths are not supported in Data analytics.
