Using the properties dialog, you can turn predicate data gathering off or on, specify the data gathering interval, and control data display and storage.
Name
Displays the ndsPredicateStats object name. By default, an ndsPredicateStats
object is created for a server when eDirectoryTM is installed. The object
name is the server name -PS, for example Sales81-PS.
If you are creating an ndsPredicateStats object, enter the object name in this field.
Server
Specifies the server that the ndsPredicateStats object is associated with. While
several ndsPredicateStats objects can exist simultaneously, a server can be
associated with only one of these objects at a time.
If you are creating an ndsPredicateStats object, you can browse to a server or you can associate the server with the ndsPredicateStats object later through the Predicate Data properties page.
Update Interval
Specifies the number of seconds to wait before refreshing the data display and
writing data to the ndsPredicateStats object.
Advanced > Enable
Specifies whether the collection process should run in the background or be
turned off. If you turn data collection off, the most recently collected data
will either be released from memory, or if you've selected write to disk, will
be moved to the ndsPredicateStats object.
Advanced > Write to Disk
Determines the storage location of predicate data, either always in memory or moving from memory to disk as specified in the Update Interval.
Advanced > Display Value Text
Determines whether the data display will be abbreviated or complete. The abbreviated display provides enough information to determine which predicates are good candidates for indexes.
