Deadline smoothing factor

Deadline smoothing factor

The deadline smoothing factor is a value, 0 to 999, that determines how much a measured deadline will change existing values in the application description database, both at run cycle and at operation level.

Note: If the measured deadline is outside the limits established by the limit for feedback, the smoothing factor will not be applied and the AD data set is not updated.

The new estimated deadline is calculated as follows:

NDL = ODL + ((ADL - ODL) * DSF/100)

Where:

NDL: The new estimated deadline for the occurrence or operation, considered as offset in minutes from the IA to be stored in the AD database.
ODL: The old estimated deadline for the occurrence or operation, considered as offset in minutes from the IA stored there.
ADL: The actual deadline, considered as the elapsed minutes between the IA and the occurrence or operation completion time.
DSF: The deadline smoothing factor.
