Dataminer Utility Data Caching

Some cached data is compiled by the Dataminer utility instead of the Agedatabase utility.

By default, the Dataminer utility runs every four hours or as specified in the VISIT_MAX_TIME configuration setting (RightNow User Interface/General/Security).
Caution: We do not recommend changing configuration settings unless necessary. Changes made to configuration settings can greatly impact the performance and functionality of your entire site. Before you change any configuration setting, it is important that your organization understands the impact of changing the setting. See Overview of Site Configuration.

The data in the following fields is compiled by the Dataminer utility.

  • Answers.Score (answers.solved_count)
  • All fields in Answer Stats (ans_stats) table
  • All fields in the Links (links) table
  • Stats.# Answers Viewed (stats.ans_viewed)
  • Stats.# Answer Searches (stats.searches)
  • Stats.Visitor Actions (stats.hits)

Information in reports that use these tables or fields is only as current as the last time the Dataminer utility ran.
