Occurrence Element

When the Performance Manager evaluates a rule and all of the conditions of the rule are true, there is a rule occurrence. The number of times the Performance Manager evaluates a rule depends upon its domain, the number of interval records, and the number of nodes. The format for an occurrence element is as follows:

OCCURRENCES = {literal_symbol | decimal_value};

A literal symbol or decimal value specifies the number of times a rule must occur for it to fire. The occurrence element ends with a semicolon (;). When a rule fires, an entry is made in the Analysis Report.
