ARCHIVE(hhmm) or BACKUP(hhmm)

Controls the time of day that the automatic database archive and compression routine is scheduled; the default is 0100.

ARCHIVE takes the place of BACKUP for this release of CAIENF. BACKUP can still be coded and perform the same as ARCHIVE, but you receive a warning message with instructions to use ARCHIVE instead. BACKUP could be modified in the future.

Examples

ARCHIVE(0600)

Automatic database backup is invoked at 6:00 AM.

ARCHIVE(AUTO)

Automatic database backup is invoked when the CAIENF database reaches 80% utilization. Runs once daily.

ARCHIVE(AUTO-nn)

nn is a percentage from 50 through 95, inclusive. The database is automatically backed up when the database reaches nn% utilization.

ARCHIVE(NOW)

Forces an immediate backup.

ARCHIVE(OFF)

Automatic database backup is not active.

Notes:

• We recommend that the variable time option in the format hhmm is specified because it makes the CAIENF ARCHIVE more predictable. If you specify the variable time option and the database is full at the time of ARCHIVE, you could need to reformat the database after the ARCHIVE finishes.
• ARCHIVE(OFF) can be specified if you do not want timed or automatic ARCHIVE.
• ARCHIVE(NOW) lets you force an unscheduled archive at the point the ARCHIVE command is issued.

The PURGE operator command can be used to clear event data that is not critical to running your CA Technologies solutions.
