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
    .
    A Database Archiving Activation screen opens, listing important information you must know before you continue.
  7. 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.
