generate a report daily at 19:00 hours. Hence, the schedule is active and a report is generated
only the day after 9th September 2008, on 10th September 2008 at 19:00 hours.
The End Time for this schedule displays 09.10.2008 19:00:00, which means that the last report
that P9000 Performance Advisor generates is on 10th September 2008 at 19:00 hours. This is
because, while creating the schedule, the number of times it must repeat is given as 1 in the Oc-
currence box. It implies that the schedule executes only once before it is automatically deleted.

Example 4: The Schedule Time for a schedule displays 09.09.2008 19:35:06, which means that
the schedule is created on 9th September 2008 at 19:35:06 hours. The Occurrence for this
schedule displays The Second Thursday of Every Month at 00:00 hrs, which means P9000 Perform-
ance Advisor is supposed to generate a report on the second Thursday of every month at 00:00
hours. Hence, the schedule is active and a report is generated on 11th September 2008 at 00:00
hours.
The End Time for this schedule displays 12.11.2008 00:00:00, which means the last report that
P9000 Performance Advisor generates is on 11th December 2008 at 00:00 hours. This is because,
while creating the schedule, the number of times it should repeat is given as 4 in the Occurrence
box. It implies that the schedule repeats only four times before it is automatically deleted.
Hence, in addition to 11th September 2008, P9000 Performance Advisor also executes the
schedule on 9th October, 13th November, and 11th December 2008.
