Maintenance Suggestions
Your existing standards for database backups, security and maintenance can be applied to the Business Analytics and MashZone Repositories. In addition, you should set up procedures to monitor or regularly manage growth for the Business Analytics Auditable Events table. This table tracks audit information for updates to the Business Analytics Repository.
You may also want to move snapshot data to a separate database to more easily manage growth and other operations for these datasets.
