Data Storage Configuration - Novell IDENTITY AUDIT 1.0 - GUIDE Manual

This page shows whether several database functions are in a healthy state (green), a warning state
(yellow), or an error state (red).
Online Database: This indicator shows whether the expected number of partitions exists in the
database for each of the partitioned tables. The expected number of partitions is based on the
number of days configured to be online (or the number of days since installation, if the installation is
recent).
If the number of partitions is not as expected, the page shows the name of the table, the number of
partitions that were expected, and the actual number of partitions in the database.
Online Database Jobs: This indicator turns red if there were any errors the last time the stored
procedures to add partitions and delete data were run. If archiving is enabled, this indicator only
shows whether there were errors the last time the job to add partitions was run. If there are errors, the
page displays the name, time stamp, and details associated with the failed job.
Archive Database: This indicator is only displayed if archiving is enabled. It turns red if there were
any errors the last time the stored procedure to archive data was run. If there are errors, the page
displays the name, time stamp, and details associated with the failed job.

7.2 Data Storage Configuration

The database is the repository for incoming events, configuration information, and report results.
Identity Audit provides database management procedures to prevent the database from filling up.
The Data Storage page, accessible only to administrators, provides the ability to configure several
aspects of data storage.
