BAM report is not getting refreshed automatically

You have created a simple report out of some data objects and the report is not getting refreshed with the live data feed.

This is because we need to do some additional configuration in order to make it work.

following configuration has been suggested in the Oracle document for BAM



51.5.6.4 Using Active Now

The Active Now feature in data filtering enables you to display in your views a segment of the data that is always within a defined time window. As time passes, the view is updated with the data within the defined time interval in the filter. Older data is removed from the view and newer data is added as time passes.

Active Now is available when you choose one of the following comparison expressions:

*

is within a time interval
*

is within the current time period
*

is within a time period

Active Now behaves differently depending on which comparison expression you choose.

When you choose is within a time interval, you can control how often the data is refreshed using the Active Now Interval setting.

For example, if you create a filter using is within a time interval, previous type, 1, Hours unit, and Active Now, set the Active Now Interval to 60 seconds, and the current time is 3:25 p.m., data from 2:25 p.m. - 3:25 p.m. is displayed in the view. When the current time changes to 3:26 p.m., data from 2:26 p.m. - 3:26 p.m. is displayed in the view. Every 60 seconds the oldest minute of data is removed from the view and the newest minute is added.

When you choose is within the current time period or is within a time period, the data is refreshed when the time period changes.

For example, when you create a filter using is within the current time period, the Hours unit, and Active Now, and the current time is 3:25 p.m., only data from 3:00 p.m. - 3:59 p.m. is displayed in the view until the current time is 4:00 p.m. At 4:00 p.m. all the data from 3:00 p.m. - 3:59 p.m. is removed from the view, and data that accumulates during the 4:00 p.m. - 4:59 p.m. time interval is displayed in the view.


So a pictorial view for the same is




Just open the report

Edit and then in View Tasks/options click on Edit View

Now Select Data and then Choose Filter there you will find an option

to select the option Active Now as shown above

Again there are cases where in this Active now button is greyed out

When you are using external data object.This is an expected behaviour as

external data object does not support active data.
