Configuring a Data Aging Task

You can use the Data Aging node to define a recurring task to remove data that is older than a specified time period.

You can set different schedules for deleting statistics and for deleting audit information in your database. For example, you might want to remove audit information more frequently, as audits rapidly increase the size of your database.

To define a data aging task
1
Expand the Database Management | Data Aging nodes in the treeview.
2
Select Delete aged data.
3
Specify the type of data to be aged: Age Statistics (days) and/or Age Audits (days).
4
Enter the number of days to retain statistical and audit data in your database.
You might want to remove audit information more often than statistics. Audits can rapidly increase the size of your database.
5
Click Configure Job.
6
Select Daily, Weekly, or Monthly to indicate how often you want to delete the data older than your retention definitions.
Depending on the schedule type that you select, the bottom box changes to an appropriate interval selector.
7
Enter the Start Date and Start Time information.
8
Click to select the Limit Job Execution Time box if you want to limit the time duration for an aging job, and enter an end time.
9
Enter an appropriate recurrence interval:
•
Enter the number of days between jobs for Daily schedules.
•
Enter the day of the week for Weekly schedules.
•
Enter the day of the month for Monthly schedules.
10
Click Deploy.

Data Aging Job History

After you create a job, the interface changes to a three-tab format:

•
The Schedule tab contains the same content as the Create Job tab had before a job was created.
•
The Properties tab describes the properties associated with the aging job, and is updated as new information becomes available.
•
The History tab contains a log of past aging jobs.
Logging the Aging Progress

Because the aging process is performed by a service, progress is recorded in the log journal for all database management activities.

The log information is available in the MessageStats log journal, so activity can be viewed on the MessageStats Gathering reports by filtering the Source field by Stats Data Aging or Audit Data Aging values.

Database Maintenance—Reindexing and Defragmenting the Database

Database Maintenance—
Reindexing and Defragmenting the Database

The Database Maintenance node of the navigation tree contains the functionality to reindex the individual database tables and to defragment the database.

 
* 
IMPORTANT: Before you reindex or defragment the database, ensure that no MessageStats consoles are currently writing information to the database. If you use Database Management while a MessageStats console is writing to the database, you risk corrupting your database.

The Reindex option completely reindexes each table in the database. The Defragment option simply defragments the indexes.

If you run the Reindex option, you do not need to run the Defragment option since there is nothing to defragment if all the indexes are new.

Using these functions can increase performance in the following ways:

•
Decrease the amount of time it takes the MessageStats task processors to write information into the database.
•
Decrease the amount of time it takes MessageStats Reports to read information from the database to render your reports.
