Event Log / Notification options
[50000] Max. num. of event log records [-1=infinte; 0=no event log]
It indicates the number of records that MechworksPDM keeps in the EVENT_LOG table.
If this option is enabled, when MechworksPDM starts up a check is performed on the maximum number of records in the EVENT_LOG table and only the most recent ones will be kept in the table.
A value of -1 always keeps ALL the records in the table, without ever deleting any of them
a value of 0 never append any record to the EVENT_LOG table: be careful as this implies that no script based on the events works if a value of 0 is set to this parameter. The default value of 5000 is approximately equal to two/four weeks of event logs.
The events history is always kept in the table if younger than one year, no matter of the settings of this option.
Preserve last year activity
Due to a behavior change introduced with build 2017/06, MechWorksPDM was no longer truncating the EVENT_LOG table if the following conditions were not both true:
•the total number of the EVENT_LOG raws was greater than what assigned in the Max. num. of event log records
•the older EVENT_LOG event was younger than one year
With this option is now possible to restore the previous behavior making it unchecked, or force the PDM to always keep at least one year of events by checking the new option
Preserve Delete Events
If enabled, the Delete Document, Delete File and Delete Attachment events will not ben deleted from the Event Log even if Max num of records is reached.
Track Open/Close events
If checked, MechworksPDM adds an event log record to the EVENT_LOG table for every Open/Close of a part/assembly/drawing.
Track plot events
If checked, it keeps track of the plot events
It may be useful, if unchecked, to avoid the EVENT_LOG table expansion in such cases where a large number of plotting is done every day
[50000] Max. num. of notifications stored [-1=infinte; 0=no event log]
It indicates the max number of notifications stored.
If this option is enabled, when MechworksPDM starts up as admin user, a check is performed on the maximum number of notification allowed and only the most recent ones will be kept in the table.
A value of -1 always keeps ALL the records in the table, without ever deleting any of them
a value of 0 never appends any record
The notification history is always kept in the table if younger than one year, no matter of the settings of this option.
Preserve last year activity
MechWorksPDM doesn't trunc notifications if the following conditions were not both true:
•the total number of the notifications is greater than what assigned in the Max. num. of notifications stored
•the older notification is younger than one year
Enable Document Subscription
