The HPCA Console provides a mechanism for defining specific groups of devices for the purpose of performing data “roll-up” operations—where information about these devices is retrieved from the HPCA database and then aggregated (rolled up) over a specified period of time.
This is useful, for example, if you are using another HP Software product that communicates with HPCA and consumes data delivered in the form of HPCA reports—or the database tables used to populate the reports.
To perform the actual data roll-up, you would create a DTM job using an appropriate job action template, such as the HPCA Nightly Summary template. Be sure to specify the job schedule such that data roll-ups are performed at least 24 hours apart. See Create a New DTM or Notify Job for more information.
