ECS Maintenance System Task(4.3)
- Jenni Wallin
The ECS Maintenance system task removes outdated ECS data when the state of the ECS data is set to Reprocessed.
The number of days to keep data is set in the ECS Maintenance configuration dialog. It is also possible to fully turn off the cleanup of UDRs, Batches, Statistics or all of them. The Statistics report can be sent to one or few recipients via email, this is configured in the Report tab of the task.
When the ECS Maintenance System Task is executed, a number of things will happen:
UDRs, batches and ECS statistics will be removed from the ECS according to the configurations in the Cleanup tab. See the description for Cleanup Tab below for further information.
If the number of days after which data should be removed has been configured to 0 (zero) days, data will be removed every time the ECS Maintenance System Task is executed, with a minimum time interval of one hour.An ECS Statistics Event will be generated containing information about the number of UDRs associated with every error code.
This will happen every time the ECS Maintenance System Task is executed according to the exact time interval with which the ECS Maintenance task is configured.
See ECS Statistics Event(4.3) for further information about how to configure notifications for the ECS Statistics Event.Statistical information will be sent to the ECS Statistics, according to your configurations in the Report tab in the configuration dialog for the ECS Maintenance system task. See the description for Report Tab below for further information.
The statistical information will be sent every time the ECS Maintenance system task is executed, with a minimum time interval of one hour.An email containing statistical information will be sent to the mail recipient stated in the Report tab in the configuration dialog for the ECS Maintenance system task. See the description for Report Tab below for further information.
The email will be sent every time the ECS Maintenance system task is executed, with a minimum time interval of one hour.
Note!
For the agent to be able to send an email, you have to set up a mail server in the Platform pod and configure the SMTP port for mail server access when installing Usage Engine.
For further information on how to configure the platform to access the mailserver and port, see Platform Properties(4.3).
Note!
The ECS is designed to store a limited amount of erroneous UDRs and batches. It is therefore important that the data is extracted, reprocessed or deleted from ECS on a regular basis.
You can however, use the alternative Data Veracity (4.3) for better performance and storage capacity.
Configuration
Cleanup Tab
The Cleanup tab will allow you to configure how long UDRs, Batches and the ECS statistics remain in within the ECS before being cleaned out by the task.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
UDRs | If this check box is selected, UDRs will be deleted from ECS when they are older than the number of days stated (maximum 999 days). If disabled, the UDRs will remain until manually cleaned out via the ECS Inspector. If 0 (zero) is entered, all UDRs with state Reprocessed will be removed whenever the cleanup task is performed, with a minimum time interval of one hour. Default: 7 days. |
Batches | If this check box is selected, batches will be deleted from ECS when they are older than the number of days stated (maximum 999 days). If disabled, the batches will remain until manually cleaned out via the ECS Inspector. If 0 (zero) is entered, all batches with state Reprocessed will be removed whenever the cleanup task is performed, with a minimum time interval of one hour. Default: 7 days. |
Statistics | If this check box is selected, statistical data will be deleted from ECS when it is older than the number of days stated (1 - 999 days). If disabled the statistics will remain in the system. There is no other way through the GUI to remove the ECS statistics. Default: 21 days. |
Report Tab
The Report tab allows you to configure the generation of UDR or Batch ECS statistics after every cleanup. You can view the statistics using the ECS Statistics(4.3) tool.
Setting | Description |
|---|---|
UDR Statistics | Create UDR Statistics report data. |
Batch Statistics | Create Batch Statistics report data. |
The email address to the receiver of the report. You can add users that are configured via access controller to the list. The agent will then refer to the email address that is attached to the user. |
