The Daily Cycle

CA Deliver maintains historical, status, and exception type data for reports based on a daily cycle. For most sites, the daily cycle corresponds to the daily production cycle.

• You define the time of day that a new daily cycle begins by setting the TIME initialization parameter.

  You can suppress the start of a new daily cycle on any day of the week by setting the DAYS initialization parameter. For example, you might want to treat weekend processing as a single cycle. In this case, the start of a new daily cycle is suppressed on Saturday and Sunday.

• The daily cycle is triggered by an internal timer that is set based on the local time. When the local time changes because of daylight savings time, the internal timer is adjusted because the GMT offset has changed. Therefore, the daily cycle starts at the proper local time after the time change has occurred.
