Performance Targets Define Specific Metrics
Although the types of measures and the business services and UI maps that govern how they are calculated and displayed are defined using separate objects, a performance target record defines the additional configuration needed to measure a specific metric and compare the result to a desired value.
There are key configuration details required by all performance target instances. These include a reference to the metric being measured, the desired target value or time, the desired result for the target and the unique zone by which this performance target will be monitored.
Note:
The performance target maintenance object has a direct foreign key link to the extendable lookup business object and value that define the performance metric. This is an unusual pattern as extendable lookup values are normally recorded only in an object's schema. The pattern has been adopted to allow the description of the metric to be displayed in the performance target maintenance portal.
A given performance target type may require additional details for its calculations. For example, the framework batch process performance target defines additional details to restrict the measurement to specific batch processes that have executed within a given time frame. These details are configured on the performance target business object. Refer to the embedded help text on the business objects supplied by the framework and your edge applications for more information.
The performance target type also defines the business object to use when creating the resulting performance target record.
