Do we need to change the settings defined in UC_UTILITY_ARCHIVE or UC_UTILITY_REORG now that we are using ILM?
And we said …
You can keep the settings how it is. If ILM is active the UC_UTILITY_ARCHIVE will ignore the other settings.
But you need to execute UC_UTILITY_ARCHIVEand UC_UTILITY_REORG to maintain object versions and deleted objects.
Below a short summary...
UC_ILM_SETTINGS - Settings for Partitioning with ILM
This variable is supplied in system client 0000. Its settings apply to the whole AE system and can only be modified in client 0000.
It is still necessary to run the utilities to reorganize object versions and deleted objects as they are not covered by partitioning with ILM.
Object versions = version management
Version Management can be used to track of changes that are made to objects. Using it duplicates objects each time they are modified. The copy is then available in the Version Management folder. Additionally, the Documentation tab of each object includes a list of all object versions.
The administrator can activate Version Management for each client in the variable UC_CLIENT_SETTINGS using the entry "Y" in the validity key VERSION_MANAGEMENT.
The administrator can also specify that Version Management is automatically activated when the administrator turns on the logging for the Revision Report. Further information is provided in the Administration Guide, utility AE.DB Revision Report.
The administrator can limit the number of objects that are displayed in the Version Management using the entry VERSIONS_SHOW_MAX in the variable UC_SYSTEM_SETTINGS.
Deleted objects = recycle bin
Deleted objects that have been archived using the utility AE DB Archive are not available in the Recycle Bin.
Note: that reorganizing the database also includes reorganizing the objects that are in the Explorer's Recycle Bin, statistical data and the corresponding reports.
