Turn off Purging

By default, database purging is turned off. If, after installation, you turned on database purging but subsequently need to turn it off you must edit the machine policy.

  1. In the Administration Console, expand the Machine Administration branch.
  2. Edit the policy for the machine or machines on which you want to turn off purging.

    For example, to turn off purging on all gateways, right-click the CMS icon cms MH and choose Edit Common Gateway Policy.

  3. In the Machine Policy Editor, browse to the Data Management folder.
  4. Set Purge Events on Replication? to False (clear the check box).
  5. Set Database Purge Frequency (Days) to 0 (zero) days.
  6. Save the policy.

    Database purging is turned off as soon as the new settings replicate to the target CA Data Protection machines.
