How data compacting works

When you run OpenEdge Management Trend Database compaction (as a job), the compaction takes a number of the records and compacts them in a different table in the OpenEdge Management Trend Database. For example, the compaction might take the first four records in the table and combine them into one record in the archive table.

As part of the compaction process, the records physically move to the archive table and are deleted from the real-data table. The archive automatically creates an hourly, daily, and weekly version of each sample, as follows:

Caution: There is no option to undo the deletion of data samples from a real-data table following the compaction.
