Description

Handling of failure in archiving recorder data, including roll-back if:
* full disk
* corrupt files in incoming
* corrupt files in archive
* no read/write permissions, both in archive and in incoming, or fail to read/write for other
reasons

A cut-off option is available for ignoring data with too old time stamp, preventing corruption of
data in recorder archive. To activate it, set:

* archiver.process-threshold.ignore-age

in /var/opt/openit/etc/daft.conf. The value is an integer. Processes older than this number of days
this will be ignored. "0" means no cut-off. Default is "0".


Handling of AppUsage containing corrupt records with old time stamps will also be ignored.

Patch 648 — Handling of corrupt and empty files by archiver
archiver used to crash when there were corrupt recorderperiod files in the archive. archiver now
ignores these files.

Revision 2: archiver also handles gzipped empty files.

HP-UX and IRIX binaries are not updated.
Patch 620 — Performance improvement of archiver (recorder)
Improves performance of archiver by decreasing the number of calls to open() and close().

The update only affects recorder data.

Currently only Linux and Solaris and AIX is supported.
Patch 610 — Update on archiver: Ignore old recorder data
In the configuration file daft.conf, there can be added an optional object
'archiver.process-threshold.ignore-age()="0"{}'.
The default value is '0'. If this object contains a value other than '0', the archiver will ignore
all records with start age before this age (in days).
Only recorder data are affected.
Patch 608 — Fix for archiver.
Fixed a crash in archiver, when processing huge data, due to 'Out Of
Memory'.

NOTE: HP-UX does not have this fix. The binary from patch 597 is used.
Patch 597 — Fix for archiver: illegal recorderperiod measurements
Two fixes: Handling of records with negative measurements. Handling of
records passign midnight.
