information when you restart vRealize Automation.
7 Shut down the MSSQL virtual machines in any order and wait for the shutdown to finish.
8 If you are using a legacy standalone PostgreSQL database, also shut down that machine.
9 Shut down your SSO appliance, which could be an Identity Appliance or a vSphere SSO appliance.
You shut down your vRealize Automation deployment.
Customize Data Rollover Settings
You can enable and configure vRealize Automation data rollover settings to control how your system
retains, archives or deletes legacy data.
Use the data rollover feature to configure the maximum number of days for the vRealize Automation
system to retain data in the IaaS SQL Server database before archiving or deleting it. By default, this
feature is disabled. To enable data rollover or configure settings, modify the data rollover settings on the
vRealize Automation Global Properties page. When enabled, this feature queries and purges data only
from the following SQL Server database tables.
n
UserLog
n
Audit
n
CategoryLog
n
VirtualMachineHistory

If the data rollover DataRolloverIsArchiveEnabled feature is set to True, archive versions of the tables are
created in the dbo schema. For instance, the archive version of UserLog would be UserLogArchive, and
the archive version of VirtualMachineHistory would be VirtualMachineHistoryArchive.
