Pruning Activities from File Access Manager
To maintain the health of your database, it is recommended that you prune activities/events from the File Access Manager database.
You can prune activity data on an ad hoc basis or via a schedule. These instructions use 180 days of activities as the pruning threshold, as an example.
- In the File Access Manager Business Website (web client), click the Forensics tab.
- Build a Query to display all events for all Applications After X date:
- Leave all filters field blank OR set a filter only for the Application(s) you wish to prune activities from.
- In the Time Frame drop-down, select Advanced Options
- In Advanced Options, choose Last Period from the Time Frame drop-down.
- Set the Period field to Older Than and enter 180 Days as the value. (This value can be modified as required.)
- Click Apply
- Click Apply on the Activity Forensics screen to see updated query results.
- Once results are displayed, click Actions in the top right corner, and select Delete Query Results.
- In the displayed window, select Once for ad hoc pruning, or Repeating to set a schedule.
- If a schedule is set it will appear in the File Access Manager Admin Client under Scheduled Tasks. It can be modified or deleted there.
