If DataRollover IsArchiveEnabled is set to True, data older than that specified in the DataRollover
MaximumAgeInDays is moved to the archive tables. If DataRollover IsArchiveEnabled is set to False,
data is permanently deleted and no data archiving occurs. Deleted data is not recoverable.
Note Consider existing system data and the potential impact on system performance before enabling
data rollover. For example, if you enable this feature one year after vRealize Automation began running in
your environment, verify that you have set the value of DataRollover MaximumAgeInDays to 300 or
greater to ensure that enabling data rollover feature does not impact system performance.
Procedure
1 Log in to the vRealize Automation console as a system administrator.
2 Select Infrastructure > Administration > Global Settings.
3 On the Global Settings page, locate the Data Rollover section of the table and review and configure
settings.
Setting Description

If you set this value to False, all data older than that specified

permanently deleted.
DataRollover MaximumAgeInDays Specifies the maximum number of days that the system

Adjusting Settings in the Manager Service Configuration File
You can use the manager service configuration file (managerService.exe.config) to adjust common
settings for machine deployments.
