Create a retentivity storage

Create a retentivity storage object to retain data of specific project nodes.
  1. Create a retentivity storage object:
    1. In , right-click
      Retentivity
      .
    2. Select
      New
      Retentivity storage
      .
      A new
      RetentivityStorage
      #
       object displays under
      Retentivity
      .
    3. (optional) In , in
      Name
      , select
      Edit icon
       to rename the object.
  2. Select project nodes to retain their data:
    IMPORTANT: Ensure that retentivity storages monitor independent parts of the project (Nodes) and do not intersect with each other. For more information about nodes, see Nodes and Project nodes.
    1. In , next to
      Nodes
      , select
      Add icon in black
      .
    2. (optional) Select
      Edit icon
       to rename the node.
    3. Create a dynamic link between the node from 2.a and an actual project node.
      For more information about dynamic links, see Create dynamic links.
    4. (optional) Expand the node. In
      Kind
      , set the node kind by creating a dynamic link.
    5. (optional) Expand the node. In
      NodeClass
      , select the class of the node or create a dynamic link.
    6. To add more nodes, repeat steps 2.a through 2.e.
  3. Specify how often new data from the selected project nodes is saved by doing one of the following:
    TIP: The default zero value may stress the hard disk drive if large portions of the project are retained or if values are changing often. Specifying a longer write delay puts the project at risk of potentially losing data included in the set delay interval.
    • In
      Write delay
      , enter milliseconds by selecting
      Edit icon
      .
    • In
      Write delay
      , select
      Add Dynamic Link icon
      Add Dynamic Link
       and create a dynamic link.
      For more information about dynamic links, see Create dynamic links.
  4. Decide to retain only the changes that are already stored or not:
    • In
      Delta observer enabled
      , set the value.
    • In
      Delta observer enabled
      , select
      Add Dynamic Link icon
      Add Dynamic Link
      .
      For more information about dynamic links, see Create dynamic links.
