Database Administration4
An administrator has the ability to discard, archive, or restore data. This capability 
can be set up as an automated process through the Data Discard Wizard. For 
instance, an administrator can discard or archive all of the calls older than a certain 
date or more than a certain number of days old. This process creates a file for each 
CMS that matches the criteria. If the data has been archived, it can then be restored 
at a later date if needed. See the “Restoring Data” section in this chapter for more 
details.
Accessing Database Administration4
To access the Data Discard Wizard, do the following:
1. From the St a r t menu, select Programs and CentreVu Explorer..
2. Click on Data Discard Wizard.

The Database Discard Utility window displays:
The Database Discard Utility window (also known as Data Discard Dialog window 
in previous releases) displays information that assists in maintaining the CentreVu 
Explorer II database. An administrator determines at a glance, how big the data and 
log sizes are and how much room is still available in the database. There is a also a 
running list of files that are processed and how many rows there are per file.

Determining Average Daily Call Record Volumes4
The CentreVu Data Discard Utility analyzes the CentreVu Explorer II database to 
determine daily average call volumes. It then calculates the number of days the 
current database can hold data before becoming full. If the database becomes too 
large, you can either expand the database through the SQL Server Enterprise 
Manager or follow the steps provided in the next section “Discarding or Archiving 
Data.”
Increasing the size of the database is limited only by the amount of disk space 
available on the CentreVu Explorer II server.

Discarding or Archiving Data4
Discard is the removal of data without saving it. Archive is the removal of data and 
saving it to a file, so that information can be read back in by the Restore Data 
routine (described later in this chapter). In addition, CentreVu Explorer II population 
routing checks to verify that the database capacity does not exceed 95 percent. The 
population routine stores any data on the CentreVu Explorer II server, but does not 
process after the database reaches 95 percent of the total capacity. To prevent the 
database from filling up, you can set up an “aging process” to discard or archive data 
after a certain number of days.
To set up the “aging process,” do the following:
1. Access the Database Discard Utility. See the “Accessing Database Utility” 
section previously in this chapter for details. 
2. Press the Discard Data button.

data box is selected.
