Database archiving

Database archiving is an important system task. If the database becomes full, the system will fail. From the Database Archiving Job system task, users with enterprise administrator or system administrator permissions can see the current size of databases and execute the archiving job as needed. A warning displays on the
BlackBerry AtHoc
homepage when the database size reaches 90% of capacity.
  1. Log in to the
    BlackBerry AtHoc
    management system as an administrator.
  2. Change to the
    System Setup (3)
    organization.
  3. In the navigation bar, click The Settings icon.
  4. In the
    System Setup
    section, click
    Archive
    .
    If archiving needs to be performed, a status message appears at the top of the Database Archiving screen.
  5. Review the details on the
    Database Archiving
    screen to determine which database or databases will be archived. You can do this by comparing the current size of each database against the maximum size allowed. If previous archiving jobs have been run, details of those jobs appear in the History table below the Database Status table.
  6. Click
    Archive
    .
  7. On the
    Database Archiving Activation
    screen, read the entire screen of explanations and cautions about archiving.
  8. In the
    Data Deletion Settings
    field, specify the minimum number of days old data must be in order to be archived.
  9. Select the check box at the bottom of the screen to indicate you have read the explanations and understand the conditions.
  10. Click
    Start Archiving Job
    .
    If an archiving job seems to be running for a long time, check the
    BlackBerry AtHoc
    process status to make sure that the service is running.
