Abstract
Provided are a method, system, and computer program product for using gathered system activity statistics to determine when to schedule a procedure. Activity information is gathered in a computer readable storage medium indicating activity in a computer system during time slots for recurring time periods, wherein each time period includes a plurality of time slots. A high activity value is determined comprising an activity amount of a slot having a maximum amount of activity among the slots for the time periods and a low activity value is determined comprising an activity amount of a slot having a minimum amount of activity among the slots for the time periods. A threshold point is determined as a function of the high activity, the low activity, and a threshold percent comprising a percentage value. A determination is made as to whether there is at least one lull window having a plurality of consecutive time slots each having an activity value lower than the threshold point. A selection is made of one of the at least one lull window in response to determining that there is at least one lull window. The procedure in the computer system is scheduled to be performed during the time sl…
