Collect Performance History Data actions

Collect Performance History Data actions retrieve performance history data into the specified RFC Destination’s PHD tab cache. The action retrieves the most recent N months of performance history data. N is the value set in the action’s Months property.

The Collect Performance History Data action’s Result dataset stores details of the retrieved performance history data.

Action property Description
Method
