Settings for Database Limitations
The following table shows how to configure each setting for Database Limitations.
Settings | How to configure |
|---|---|
Total maximum size of the AssetCentre database | Enter a value for the total maximum size of the AssetCentre database. No minimum value is required. |
Size warning levels | Specify the percentage of database capacity as the Warning level or Critical level. The status of database usage appears in the status bar of the FactoryTalk AssetCentre desktop client. |
Maximum number of versions per archive asset | Enter a value for the maximum version number of an asset in archive. You can also configure the maximum number of versions per asset in Archive. |
Maximum size of database table capturing logs | Enter a value for the maximum file size of Event Log, Audit Log, and Diagnostics Log. If the file size of any log exceeds its maximum size, FactoryTalk AssetCentre writes the log, and adds a new warning log about the current event log size exceeding its maximum size. When the Event, Audit, or Diagnostic and Health logs reach the maximum size, a warning message appears when you run the FactoryTalk AssetCentre desktop client, indicating the log size status. |
Database capacity status refresh rate | Enter a value to specify the frequency to refresh the database capacity status. The default value is 2. The minimum accepted value is 1, and 0 is not accepted. When the database capacity reaches the warning or critical level, or the Event, Audit, or Diagnostic and Health logs reach the maximum size, a warning message appears when the FactoryTalk AssetCentre desktop client refreshes the database capacity status. |
Email notification | Specify the email addresses to receive notifications when the database reaches the warning levels or exceeds the maximum size setting. The log table size will also trigger an email notification when it reaches or exceeds the maximum size setting. Note: If the number of the maximum asset version exceeds the setting value, the oldest version will be deleted without sending the email notification. Version 1 will not be deleted. Select  to select an email address from the Contacts and Groups address book dialog. |
SCAN to Proceed | Validate whether the current total database size, event log size, audit log size, diagnostics log size, and asset versions meet each own specified threshold. This operation is required when making any changes to the Database Limitations. |
TIP:
If you set any value as 0 or higher than the maximum size, or leave any value blank, it is translated as unlimited.
