Hi Mark,
Yes, it look like it will flag those statistical record that are over 60days old for removal (while only retaining only 30 record of each). Anything thats past the 60 days and are over the 30 iteration will be removed and won't be viewable in the AE UI.
So.. this part might be a little confusion - but there a few setting that you would need to check in the utility .ini file also.
REORG: There are 2 setting to check:
no_archive_check= (see if it has 0 or 1 - since 1 mean that it doesn't care if the record is flag for archive or not and would flag the record for remove if it fit the criteria. The zero mean, that it won't be flag for removal unless there is a flag for archive for that record.
auto_reorg= (this by default reorg/flag for removal all record older than 365days UNLESS you have no_archive_check=0 )
UNLOAD: Check to see if there is a setting of "suppress_out= " . (if you have it with the 1, it will skip writing out the data to a file for ).
With the Archive, Reorg & Unload... The Archive will "flag" anything in the data that you want to archive... and the reorg also "flag" those record too and the unload is the part when it really remove it all.
So in essence, anything that got "flagged" for archive and reorg... when the unload run... it will create the file for you to keep and removed that data from the database (unless some of the setting above are used).
