Setting the Siebel Analytics Web Catalog Backup Parameters

Siebel Analytics Web uses a combination of three parameters to determine how many backup files to maintain and which ones to replace with the newest information. If the oldest file does not exceed the CatalogAutoSaveTimeSpanDays parameter, it is not always the one replaced. Siebel Analytics Web uses other factors to determine which one is least useful and replaces that one. Table 9 lists and describes these parameters.

Table 9. Siebel Analytics Web Catalog Backup Parameters
Parameter
Description

CatalogAutoSaveMinutes

Time interval (in minutes) between backups.

CatalogAutoSaveTimeSpanDays

Siebel Analytics Web checks the oldest backup file against this parameter and if the file's timestamp exceeds this time span, then the file is replaced. If no files exceed this time span, then Siebel Analytics Web determines the least useful file and replaces it. This determination uses file age as a weighted factor.

CatalogMaxAutoSaves

The maximum number of backup files to retain. The default is 25.

To edit these parameters, work in the instanceconfig.xml file. The edits follow this form:

<CatalogMaxAutoSaves>50</CatalogMaxAutoSaves>

For information about working in the configuration file instanceconfig.xml, read Making Siebel Analytics Web Configuration Changes.
