DESCRIPTION

FILEFORMAT

The fileformat is OPTION=VALUE

Between the OPTION, the = and the VALUE are no spaces.

You should not comment out any OPTION If you like to use default settings simply do not specify a VALUE.

OPTIONS

VARDIR

location of the edrc/var/lots directory containing all state and log information. When the VARDIR is changed from the default location it has to be ensured that the whole structure of the VARDIR is present at the altered location. Ensure that the directory permissions are identical to the ones as set at the default location.

See also description in lots(1m) concerning this topic.

Example: VARDIR=/dat/worm_all/var/lots

Default: VARDIR=edrc/var/lots

LOG

Log output dir of lots. If you specify a relative path name the path is relative to the VARDIR setting.

Example: LOG=/var/opt/lots/log

Default: LOG=$VARDIR/log

DATA_LOCK_LAG

Number of days after the lock is carried out on the copied data. This is to allow corrective intervention prior to the data locking.

If the DATA_LOCK_LAG is bigger then the RETENTION_MAX setting, the effective DATA_LOCK_LAG is adjusted to the value of RETENTION_MAX.

See also description in lots(1m) concerning this topic.

Example: DATA_LOCK_LAG=7

Default: DATA_LOCK_LAG=30

DATA_PURGE_LAG

Number of days by which the removal of data to be purged is delayed. This is to allow smooth data purge if the operating system clocks and the compliance clocks on the storage devices are not completely in sync.

See also description in lots(1m) concerning this topic.

Example: DATA_PURGE_LAG=7

Default: DATA_PURGE_LAG=0

RETENTION_MIN

Minimum retention in days. Specified retentions in schedule.dat that are lower then this watermark will be adjusted automatically to this minimum.

Example: RETENTION_MIN=150

Default: RETENTION_MIN=1

RETENTION_MAX

Maximum retention in days. Specified retentions in schedule.dat that are higher then this watermark will be adjusted automatically to this maximum.

Example: RETENTION_MAX=1460

Default: RETENTION_MAX=60

LOCK_TIMEOUT

timeout in seconds. This is the maximum lifetime of a job-, datalist and session lock. This setting has to be adjusted only, if the data processing duration exceeds the default.

The LOCK_TIMEOUT should not exceed the minimum scheduling interval of any datalist defined.

Important: Do not confound this setting with the settings concerning the retention and the locking of saved data.

Example: LOCK_TIMEOUT=82800

Default: LOCK_TIMEOUT=79200

FORECAST_DATAPOINTS

Number of most recent data points that should be used to calculate the various forecasts. If this setting is set to 0 all available data points are considered.

Example: FORECAST_DATAPOINTS=100

Default: FORECAST_DATAPOINTS=0
