Manual Task

Use this tab when you want to perform immediate one-time maintenance:

  1. Select database radio buttons: Select the database to perform maintenance on: main or archive.

  2. Action radio buttons: Select the type of maintenance: Prune or Archive.

  3. Records older than boxes: Set a number and a time unit (hours, days, months, or years). All records older than the selected time are pruned or archived.

  4. Start button: Click to start the maintenance.

  5. Stop button: Click to stop the maintenance before it is complete.

At the bottom of the tab is information about the progress of your maintenance action, as follows (listed from top to bottom):

Note that UCS may scan some threads that it does not archive or prune: such threads do not appear in this Threads - Interactions statistic. UCS may refrain from archiving/pruning a scanned thread for any of the following reasons:

Once the task's status is done or failed, (shown in the information), the statistics continue to display, preserving a record of the most recently-completed task. Exceptions to this are if the task is scheduled (not manual), or if the task was started by some other instance of UCS Manager. In either of those cases the statistics are no longer shown after the task is done or failed.

Note: If you have begun pruning or archiving using the set-based method available in release 8.0.2 and later, the progress indicator and statistics do not display information about the process.
