Configuring Registry Parameters
Configuring registry parameters depends on how the archiving process is executed (scheduler or standalone scheduler). Ths table lists and describes the parameters that need to be configured:
| Registry | Value(s) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ARCHIVE_MODE | SCHEMA (default)
NULL FALSE |
This registry setting defines the available archiving modes. If this setting is not used, then set this setting to NULL or FALSE. This setting also indicates to other components of the system that archiving is enabled and not used. |
| ARCHIVE_MODE_ENABLED | TRUE
FALSE (default) |
This registry determines whether or not archiving is enabled in Cognos Reporting. |
| ARCHIVE_MODE_NAME | ARCHIVE (default) | The value set for ARCHIVE_MODE determines the value for the ARCHIVE_MODE_NAME. The default value for ARCHIVE_MODE is SCHEMA and therefore the ARCHIVE_MODE_NAME is ARCHIVE. If ARCHIVE_MODE is empty, then this registry is ignored. |
| ARCHIVE_BOUNDARY_DATE | 01/01/1900 (default) | This registry defines the current date (format: MM/dd/YYYY) minus the archiving policy aging days registry value. Any data before this date should reside in the archive schema.The archive policy runner task updates this registry value. |
| ARCHIVE_POLICY_AGING_DAYS | 99999 (default) | This registry specifies how long (number of days) data is set to remain in the database. Data exceeding the specified number is purged. |
