Configuring the timeframe
Tracking information is collected for a specific time period: monthly, weekly, daily or hourly. You configure the timeframe in the Profiling & Personalization configuration file cd_wai_conf.xml.
About this task
If the system starts on a date other than the first of the month, and the specified time frame is monthly, a new time frame is started for that specific month. The start date, for example the 12th of the month, is included:
After a time frame has expired, the active tracking record is archived and a new record is created to store information for the new time frame. If you change the time frame configuration, you must restart the server. The system checks for new time frames after every reboot. If the time frame configuration is different from the last stored record, the system backs up the previous tracking record and begins a new record.
