Yearly archive

Yearly archives are performed for Archive schedules with an Archive Cutoff field value of 01:00:00 or greater.

The figure above shows a schedule created on January 1, 2015 with an Archive Cutoff value of one year and a Delete Cutoff value of one year. Archiving does not take place until the start of the day: January 1, 2017. Until then, none of the collected data is older than one year. Intervals between one and two years are considered to be one year for purposes of yearly archiving. Data cleanup does not take place until the start of the day: January 1, 2017. Until then, none of the collected data is older than one year. Unarchived data cannot be deleted; therefore, the data must first be archived before the archiveCleanup process. If the execution time for these two scripts were set up in the wrong order, the first data cleanup would not take place until January 1, 2020.
