ARCHIVE(hhmm) or BACKUP(hhmm)

Controls the time of day that the automatic database archive and compression routine is scheduled; the default is 0100. The following table shows the result of ARCHIVE commands with different available options.

ARCHIVE takes the place of BACKUP for this release of ENF. BACKUP can still be coded and will perform the same as ARCHIVE, but you will receive a warning message with instructions to use ARCHIVE instead. BACKUP may 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 between 50 and 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:

• CA recommends that the variable time option in the format hhmm be specified because it makes the CAIENF ARCHIVE more predictable. However, be advised that if you specify the variable time option and the database is full at the time of ARCHIVE, the database may need to be reformatted when the ARCHIVE finishes.
• ARCHIVE(OFF) can be specified if neither timed nor automatic ARCHIVE is desired.
• ARCHIVE(NOW) allows you to 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.
