View and edit Data Archive tuning parameters

Use the Tuning Parameters tool to view and edit Data Archive settings for all connected Data Archive servers. Tuning parameter settings are also known as Timeout table parameters. PI SMT displays the tuning parameter sorted by name.

Use tuning parameters to:

• Configure the Data Archive server authentication policy

• Set the maximum size of files, such as auditing and message log files

• Set the amount of time that lapses before a secondary member of a Data Archive Collective is marked as unavailable

To edit tuning parameters, you need read/write permissions to the PITUNING entry in the Database Security tool. To open the Tuning Parameters tool, select Operation > Tuning Parameters in the System Management Tools pane.

Note: If the Data Archive server is a member of a collective, any tuning parameter changes you make are not replicated on other members of the collective.
