Modify an Object's Maintenance Policy

You can modify the maintenance policy of an object to control the data consolidation and retention of that object.

Follow these steps:

1. Select Maintenance Policy from the Open Systems menu.

   The Modify Maintenance Policy dialog opens.

2. Select the object from the Object/Query name list and click Modify.

   A dialog that allows you to change the policy for the selected item appears.

   

3. Modify the following fields to modify the policy.

   Consolidate records from every time slice of n units into one record

   Specifies the amount of data you want to combine into a single record. You can consolidate by the following time units:

   • Minutes
   • Hours
   • Days
   • Weeks
   • Months

   Specifies the amount of data you want to retain.

   For example, if you specify a value of one week, the policy consolidates all records together into a single average value except for the previous week.
