It is important to protect your data
by scheduling regular database backups. Also, regularly clean your database to remove
old data so that the database does not grow beyond its capacity. If the database is
full, your integration might stop working.
Before you begin
Ensure you have the following privileges:
- View role properties
- Modify role properties
- Administration > Plugins
What you should know
- It is a best practice to schedule all database
maintenance during non-peak hours.
- The Directory database stores the plugin configuration
and custom Traka entities.
- The plugin role database stores:
- Traka users
- Traka events
- Traka cabinets and iFobs
- Settings on the Properties page
- Relationship between the Security Center
access rules and Traka groups
Procedure
-
Open Server Admin and back up the Directory database.
-
From the Config
Tool home page, open the
Plugins task.
-
Select the Traka Asset Management plugin role from the entity browser and
click the Resources tab.
-
Click Cleanup (), choose how long to keep events and when to delete old
data, and then click OK.
NOTE: By default, the
Keep data setting is set to 30 days
and the
Clean each setting is set to
custom and has no clean up day specified. This
means that data will never be cleaned up unless you select a day on which it
will occur. Parking signs typically change messages frequently, which makes
them likely to cause issues related to excessive data accumulation. If your
organization has many parking signs, you should consider one of the
following options:
- Decrease the retention period for your data in the
Database cleanup window
- Upgrade your SQL subscription to accommodate more data and increase
your local data storage capacity
-
Click Backup/Restore (), choose the location for backup files, enable
automatic backups at least once per week, and then click
OK.
-
Click Apply.
