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 system during time slots for recurring time periods. A high activity value is an activity amount of a slot having a maximum amount of activity and a low activity value is an activity amount of a slot having a minimum amount of activity. A threshold point is determined as a function of the high activity, the low activity, and a threshold percent comprising a percentage value. A selection is made of at least one lull window having a plurality of consecutive time slots each having an activity value lower than the threshold point and the procedure in the computer system is scheduled to be performed during the time slots in the lull window in a future time period.
