Period

The number of days that each snapshot consists of. This parameter has an effect only when you set TimeSpanSnapshot to True. In this case, IDOL Category Component takes snapshots in the time span specified by StartDays and EndDays, and each snapshot contains data for the number of days that you set for Period.

Use Gap to specify how many days must elapse between the taking of snapshots.

Actions: ClusterSnapshot
Type: Long
Default:  
Example: TimeSpanSnapshot=True
StartDays=20
EndDays=11
Period=2
Gap=1

In this example, the time span in which snapshots are taken is 9 days. It starts 20 days ago (the current date minus 20) and ends 11 days ago (the current date minus 11). Each snapshot that is taken spans 2 days. Every time a snapshot is completed, 1 day elapses before the next snapshot starts.
