CA EEM Getting Started › Archiving Events › Overview

Overview

You can generate and manage reports for events generated by the CA EEM Server. The archiving system organizes archived files into the following two states:

Warm db Files

Refers to the archive files created once the number of events exceeds Maximum Rows in an event database. Warm archived files are available for querying and reporting from CA EEM server. No data can be inserted into a warm db file. Warm db files are available in CA EEM server only for the number of days specified as Max Archive Days in Event Log Settings. The warm db files are stored in the %IGW_LOC%\calm_archive.

Cold db Files

Refers to the archive files in warm state that are backed up manually to another location. You must back up the calm_archive folder before the Max Archive Days. You cannot query or create reports from a cold db file. The cold db files need to be defrosted before they can be used for querying or reporting.
