Archive Data - HPE XP7 User Manual

CAUTION:
• You must import the data to the same version of the management station as that of the installed
PA.
• The import operation fails, if there is not enough free space in the database to accommodate the
imported data. To start an import operation, PA requires that there be sufficient space in the
database, at least matching the size of the exported data. You must either archive or purge some
of the existing data before you begin the import operation.
• If you are importing data when the auto purge is in progress, the data import activity still
continues. However, if the imported data happens to be among the oldest data that PA has
selected for purging, the data being imported is also purged automatically. Hence, it is highly
recommended that there be enough disk space available on that management station, where the
data import activity is initiated.
• Do not move the dump folder from <XPPA_HOME>\pa\tomcat\webapps\pa
\DBArchiveDump\ or copy the dump folder to any other location, because PA accesses these
files only from <XPPA_HOME>\pa\tomcat\webapps\pa\DBArchiveDump\ on your
management station.
