ADMINISTRATOR SECTION CHAPTER 2: CONFIGURING THE ER SERVER

•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 calculations.

TIP: 8e6 recommends that you set up your Server to store more live data than archive data for the benefit of administrators and sub-administrators who generate reports via the Client applica- tion. Report processing times are slower when generating reports that include non-indexed data.

If your Server is set up to store only live data, you will be able to store less data than if you store both live and archive data, since indexes require additional storage space.

NOTE: See Appendix A: Evaluation Mode for information about viewing the Expiration screen in the evaluation mode.
