Defining Data Maintenance Settings
You can define data maintenance settings to control the number of days to retain business event data, the number of days to retain aggregated business event data, and the frequency with which Optimize recalculates the values in the OPERATION_PARAMETER table.
To define data maintenance settings
1. In My webMethods: Navigate > Applications > Administration > System-Wide > Environments > Define Environments.
2. On the Define Environments page, click the name of the environment for which you want to define data maintenance settings.
3. On the Edit Environment page, click the Configure Servers tab.
4. Under the appropriate Analytic Engine logical server node in the configuration tree, click Data Maintenance Settings.
5. In the Data Maintenance Settings for Analytic Engine area, define the data maintenance settings.
The following table provides information about the data maintenance settings.
Field | Description |
Business Days To Retain | Number of days to retain business event data in the Analysis database component. The default value is 30 days. Business data includes metrics about processes (such as cycle time, instance count, or error count) as well as data captured from within processes (such as order revenue, items ordered, or line count). After the specified number of days have passed, the data is eligible to be purged by the purge procedures. |
Data Maintenance Interval | Number of hours before the Analytic Engine updates the Operation_parameter table with dynamic table names. The default value is 4 hours. |
Aggregated Business Days To Retain | Number of days to retain aggregated business event data in the Analysis database component. The default value is 365 days. Aggregated business data represents a consolidation of business event data that is used to improve the performance of the KPI Summary and KPI Instance Detail graphs. Aggregated business data takes up much less space and therefore can be kept for a longer period of time without consuming excessive disk space or affecting system performance. |
6. Click Save to save changes or click Cancel to discard any changes you have made in this settings area.
If you click Finish without first clicking Save, any changes made to these settings will be lost.
7. To configure another logical server subcomponent, click the name of that subcomponent in the configuration tree.
8. Click Finish to close this page and return to the Define Environments page.
