ADMINISTRATOR SECTION: CHAPTER 2 - CONFIGURING THE ER 3.0 SERVER

Change Data Storage Settings

The Change Settings section of the screen is used for updat- ing 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 calcula- tions.
