Well, this may seem like an obvious answer, but I can't tell if I'm confusing myself or missing something.
If I use a long response time (like 10 minutes for batch), then I would think that I only consider that during the Performance Adjustment interval in which the transaction ends. Yet that raises the question that if I have multiple jobs in such a service class, then over what interval must they end to provide a meaningful metric? Assuming they would all end within a 10 second window seems implausible, so how can a response time goal realistically be managed at such high values? In addition I recently read that even transactions that haven't ended can be used in the evaluation of goals, but that doesn't make sense since, by definition, they haven't ended. Yet this is what percentile goals are supposed to represent. So I guess my question involves how a policy adjustment interval addresses transaction that run longer than the time between intervals, or is it merely that they are only examined during the interval they actually end in?
