Time Measurements in Report Manager

Report Manager time measurements are based on the UTC time. The devices pushing data to Oracle® Communications Report Manager send raw data in UTC time. UTC does not operate on Daylight Savings Time (DST), and therefore the timestamps of CSV files do not fluctuate due to DST. Time zones of the server on which the Oracle® Communications Report Manager application runs nor the reporting device are relevant in Report Manager.

Reports are available in the following time granularities: hourly, daily, weekly and monthly.

The aggregation schedule below describes the time frame for processing data based on UTC time.

• CSV Timestamps: CSV data files are titled with the UTC timestamp in seconds, otherwise known as the Unix Epoch time.
• Aggregation and Purging: Aggregation time granularities and purging schedules are based on the Gregorian calendar. References to start time and date are based on the UTC time relative to the Gregorian calendar.
