The contents of the Options tab depend on the type of DAP you are configuring. Typically, this tab
is where you set the retention thresholds.
DAP SubPolicies
Some Options tabs include sub-policies for individual attribute retention.
Click Add SubPolicy or click the Edit button to the right of listed policies to access the editor.
Editing Tips
Archiving options that appear in the Aging Policies Editor vary, based on type of policy
selected. Inventory Change Tracking DAPs ask how long you would like to keep Config
reports, Inventory Report DAPs ask how long you would like to keep your Historical Reports
based on number of instances, days, and weeks, months or years.
Set these thresholds in the Options tab. All DAPs require a Name and a record threshold.
Check the Enabled checkbox to enable the policy.
DAPs run on a schedule. If the record threshold number is greater than or equal to the
configured threshold then the DAP runs at the scheduled time. You may also manually click
the gear icon to the right of a listed policy, and execute a DAP at any time to check that
threshold figure. In either case, if the threshold is not crossed Dell OpenManage Network
Manager creates no archives.
To verify when current DAPs are scheduled to run, open the Schedules portlet, and select the
schedule on which it runs. For most DAPs, this is the Daily (recommended) DAP. Right-click
to edit it. The Scheduled Aging Policies list should include all DAPs that have selected that
schedule.
