Application groups

When you define an application group, you specify the storage management information that determines how long Content Manager OnDemand maintains data stored in the application group and when Content Manager OnDemand takes certain actions. For example:
  • Life of Data and Indexes. Determines the length of time that Content Manager OnDemand maintains index data and report data stored in the application group.
  • Migration of Indexes. Determines the number of days before Content Manager OnDemand moves index data from the database to archive storage.

    You should plan to migrate index data only after users no longer need to access the reports to which it refers. Only in exceptional situations should users need to access index data that has been migrated. If a user needs to access index data that has been migrated to archive storage, the process of importing the table back into the database requires manual actions by an administrator, and usually results in a significant delay in completing the query. The import process also requires additional space in the database to hold the imported tables, additional log file storage, and temporary storage on the server to run the import process.

  • Keep Imported Migrated Indexes. Determines how long that Content Manager OnDemand maintains the imported index data in the database before it is scheduled for deletion.

To migrate data from one application group to another application group, you must reload the data. You cannot associate data from one ApplGroup to another ApplGroup.

If you need to maintain index data in archive storage, then you must configure the Migration of Indexes in your application groups. If you want Content Manager OnDemand to maintain the imported index data in the database for longer than thirty days, then you must specify the number of days in Keep Imported Migrated Indexes. Content Manager OnDemand will schedule imported index data for deletion from the database after it resides in the database for the number of days specified in Keep Imported Migrated Indexes or Life of Data and Indexes, whichever occurs first.

You can use the administrative client to configure your application groups.
