Discarding or Archiving Data

Discard is the removal of data without saving it. Archive is the removal of data and
saving it to a file, so that information can be read back in by the Restore Data
routine (described later in this chapter). In addition, CentreVu Explorer II population
routing checks to verify that the database capacity does not exceed 95 percent. The
population routine stores any data on the CentreVu Explorer II server, but does not
process after the database reaches 95 percent of the total capacity. To prevent the
database from filling up, you can set up an "aging process" to discard or archive data
after a certain number of days.
To set up the "aging process," do the following:
1. Access the Database Discard Utility. See the "Accessing Database Utility"
section previously in this chapter for details.
2. Press the Discard Data button.
