15.6.1 Interval analysis

Interval analysis sets pauses during execution of the condition analysis result accumulation facility. After analyzing a specified amount of data, the facility pauses the analysis for a specified amount of time. When the specified amount of time has elapsed, the facility analyzes the next set of the specified amount of data, then pauses again, repeating this cycle until all the data has been analyzed. Because the facility pauses, the adverse effects on online applications are reduced.

To execute interval analysis, you specify in the -w option the amount of data to be analyzed (in segments) between pauses and the pause time (in milliseconds).

The figure below provides an overview of interval analysis.
