Creating a Data Summary Action

The Data Summary action accumulates and summarizes information contained in data messages for a message definition. Summary information is calculated on a periodic basis, whenever an amount of time that you specify has elapsed. Summary information is provided on a field-by-field basis for the time interval, and statistics such as data range and mean can be generated.
