Script include: EmBucketCalculator It is read during bucket calculation and sets the maximum bucket limit used to assign buckets by name, so changing it can change the bucket assignments users see. If the property is unset, the code uses 4; alert groups are not affected. /sys_script_include.do?sys_id=4eb052505fc133009dfd822b3f7313f5

Health Monitor Script: Max Delay Of Impact Jobs The health monitor reads this setting to determine how many numbered business-service impact calculator jobs to include when checking for delays.
