About Database Management

During the installation of the MessageStats Report Pack for OWA, additional tables are added to the MessageStats database to store OWA-specific data. MessageStats allows you to manage the storage of OWA data.

In MessageStats, the database management functionality is extended to include database management functions specific to OWA data. Using Database Management, you can delete obsolete information and fine-tune your database.

The Database Management tool provides the following functionality:

•
Database Aging. Use this to delete historical data.
•
Database Maintenance. Use this to defragment your database and reindex database tables.
•
Delete Data. Use this to delete object and report data.
 
* 
IMPORTANT: Before you modify your database, ensure that no MessageStats consoles or task processors 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.

For detailed information about using the Database Management tool, see the MessageStats Administrator Guide.
