Change Data Storage Settings
The Change Settings section of the screen is used for
updating the amount of data that will be stored on the Server
box in the future. By making an entry in this section of the
screen, you dictate how data on the box will expire.
At the Hits/day field, the number of hits on the Server per
day displays. This is the same figure that displays in the
Last 8 weeks hits/day average field in the Status section
above.
1. In the Percentage of live data field, enter a figure for the
percentage of data you wish to be stored as live data on
the box. If you want all data to be live data only, enter
100.
2. Click the Calculate button to display results in the
following fields below: Estimated total week(s) of live
data, and Estimated total week(s) of archive data.
After viewing your results in these display fields, you can
adjust the number of weeks that data will be saved on the
Server, if necessary. To do so, follow steps 1 and 2 again.
3. Once you are satisfied with your results, click the Save
button. As a result of your entries, the following occurs:
• the figure saved in the Percentage of live data field
displays in the Target percentage of live data field in
the Status section
• the figures displayed in the Estimated total week(s) of
live/archive data fields display in the Estimated total
week(s) of live/archive data fields in the Status section
• the Estimated number of week(s) until next expiration
field may display a new figure, based on the new
settings you saved.
When the next database expiration runs, all other fields
in the Status section will reflect the new calculations.
