Configuring Repository Purging

Change repository purging options.

Prerequisites
You must have administrative privileges (sccAdminRole) to perform this task.
Task
As you decide how to purge your repository, consider that:
  • Purging keeps the repository from absorbing too much disk space.
  • By default, purging is enabled. It occurs once a day and purges data older than one day.
  • Statistics and alert history can help you detect trends in server performance and user behavior. The SAP Control Center statistics chart can graph performance data over a period of a year or more if the data is available. If you have enough disk space, consider saving data for a longer period of time or disabling the purging of statistics or alert history.
  • Changing the purge frequency and other options might affect SAP Control Center performance.
Note: If you configure purging as part of a scheduled backup of the repository, disable automatic purging on the Size Management tab.
  1. From the main menu bar, select Application > Administration.
  2. Select Repository.
  3. Click the Size Management tab.
  4. To turn automatic purging on or off, click Automatically purge the repository periodically.

    • Purge statistics
