443.0. "Archive Data Management Questions" by CSC32::S_ROCHFORD () Thu Oct 20 1994 00:32

    Hello,
    
    I have a customer who is looking for information on how to manage
    his Console manager archive information.  His concern is that as we
    keep sending data to the archives we will eventually run out of disk
    space.  Is there some way to purge data from the archives and are there
    features in Console Manager to control this?  He is used to the purge
    feature that VCS had where data was purged when certain thresholds were
    reached.  Does anybody have info if this is possible and/or general
    info an data management strategies for Console Manager?
    
    Thanks,
    Stephen

Stephen,

  When the archive area is full, we generate an "Archive area full"
  event, by default, this causes an "archive area cleanup" action
  routine to execute which deletes anything in the archive area
  which is more than 2 days old, this cleanup procedure is just
  DCL on OpenVMS and shell script on ULTRIX/OSF.

  Now the documentation describes all of this and also indicates
  that the customer should modify the archive cleanup procedure to
  perform any extra tasks the customer requires, such as backing
  the files up to tape before they are deleted.

Cheers,
Phil
