Changing the KPI Calculation Schedule
By default, the KPI scheduler (PTC.SCA.SCO.KPIScheduler) causes the calculation service to run every minute. The frequency with which the KPI elements and KPIs are calculated is controlled by the Calculation Settings fields on the Configuration page for the KPI scheduler:
KPI Calculation Rate (in minutes)
KPI Elements Calculation Rate (in minutes)
By default, the KPI elements and KPIs are calculated every 5 minutes, starting from the beginning of the current shift.
To change the frequency in which the KPI elements and KPIs are calculated, enter new values for these fields.

The launch schedule for the KPI scheduler is determined by the schedule field, found on the Configuration page for the KPI scheduler, under General Settings. If you edit the launch schedule by modifying the schedule field, the values for the Calculation Settings field values must be modified to be whole multiples of the launch schedule. For example, if you modify the schedule field so that the scheduler launches every 2 minutes, instead of every 1 minute, you must also update the KPI Calculation Rate (in minutes) and KPI Elements Calculation Rate (in minutes) values to a multiple of 2, such as 4 or 6.
For more information, see Customizing the Schedulers.
Changes made to the KPI scheduler (PTC.SCA.SCO.KPIScheduler) are not retained during an upgrade, and need to be re-implemented after the upgrade is complete.
