• Delete old data process

  Hello

  I have a small question on the removal of the old processdata gathered by the Investigation of feedback process cartridge.

  I had activated the retention policies after a long period of collection of GPI and according to https://support.quest.com/SolutionDetail.aspx?id=SOL52431 (Cause) old data will not be deleted if you have activated the purge after collecting the data with example of GPI.

  I could delete the data directly from the data management dashboard, but I'm not sure if it is safe.

  

  There is another, better way to do this?

  See you soon!

  Erik Alm

  Erik,

  Have you tried the 'delete expired data Assistant "?

  You can find it under environment VMware - Administration tab - review data has expired.

• Purge old events of databases "historical".

  Hello

  We look at some events in our historical databases see purge.  We've got floating pools that refresh on logoff user for the databases become big enough (> 30 GB).  I saw KB 1025914, but which refers the vCenter tasks and events.  Does anyone have experience with databases event_data_historical (and event_historical)?

  Thank you

  Troy

  I am posting this because I hade the same question. My database of the event proved to be HUGE. Since we decided that we didn't need the old data, I decided to find a way to purge some data.

  The sql query, I used is gross, but it worked. I'm not anything close to a person of sql query.

  delete from [View-Event].[dbo].[v_event_data_historical]  where EventID in (select EventID from [View-Event].[dbo].[v_event_historical] where Time < DATEADD(day,-30,getdate()))
  delete from [View-Event].[dbo].[v_event_historical] where Time < DATEADD(day,-30,getdate())
  

  Our database is called event so our table prefixes are v_ and you will need to change your settings.

  the

  Time < DATEADD(day,-30,getdate()
  

  is what I use to get specify anything older then 30 days. You want to change it to match your desires of retention.

  I created a sql job to run this monthly to keep my size of database failure.

  I'm sure there are better ways to do it, but it's the best I could come up with in the 20 minutes of time I had to work on it.

• Old data refresh - problem of mapping - OWB has not been removed.

  We use OWB 11.1.0.7 on Windows 2003. I created the dimensions and cubes and they are all worked well. The problem is when I tried to update the warehouse using new data, new data have been loaded into the dimension, but some old data were still there.
  
  In the map, I used a materialized view to map to the dimension. I checked the old data was not in the materialized view, but was still in the dimension. The steps I took were:
  
  -mv re-imported to OWB,
  -synchronized to the source and the target in the mapping.
  -related table redeployed + dimension and mapping,
  -run the process flow.
  
  And the target schema has update privileges and DBA role.
  
  In mapping out bug mode, I saw some old data + new data has been loaded. In the details on the use of excution process flow, no data has been deleted. The mv database have been inserted, but old data merged too.
  
  Could someone help me on this? Thanks in advance.

  Hi Georges Nicks.

  As far as I understand - you complain that some old data stood at dimensions? That is the data existing only no more on the source (view materialized in your case) always tables exist in the target (implementation of the dimension) table. I suppose also that you use ROLAP for cubes Dimensions (are you? Or you use OLAP?).

  I also assume you are using the operator of dimension as target in your mapping? How OWB keeps changes in your target size depends on how you have designed your dimension and it's attributes. Is it configured type 1 (overwrite the former record on change), 2 (new record on change) or 3 (keep the old value in a separate change column)?

  Anyway - I think that for all types of above dimension, the default behavior is not to delete the old dimension records. In general, it is reasonable since in Datawarehouse you typically add more data (you keep the history). When you say "Refresh" the datawarehouse - usually means adding new recent data (do not purge history).
  Something interesting here, that is why you want to purge old dimension records: violent keep consistency in your data model, if it breaks some features? Or you keep more small dimension for query performance reasons?

  It is true however that OWB lack such feature to automatically recognize this kind of change as "disappeared from source folder". And that change is sometimes important and must be reflected. In my practice, I used different approaches to deal with this - for example:
  * Add all missing documents on the left side of the mapping with a gauge field EXISTS_IN_SOURCE = 'n' artificially. In this way - OWB processes the records and marks in the target size as «not active more»
  * You can manually (we write some PL/SQL) to process the dimension after loading in OWB (by using step after mapping or some extra in your workflow). It's up to you how you process to remove lines here (you can mark them as EXISTS_IN_SOURCE = 'n', you can update their expiry timestamp, or you can serve them).

  Situation with cubes is similar - if you really need a purge of the old data: you must especially take care to implement.

  Kind regards

• during an update lots of my profile folder has been put in a folder on the desktop marked the old data. How to restore this data file

  During a bet to update, automatic update of windows has started and some how much my profile data has been removed and stored in a file on the desktop. There is a simple and easy way to restore this folder from the current firefox?

  You can use the contents of the Old Firefox Data folder to "roll back" the refresh, but this involves several steps. It's probably even faster than the recovery of individual files and load those into your new profile.

  Check in the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds a folder with a random semi name on your desktop. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.

  Once you have identified the profile folder, that you want to restore, here is my "old profile resurrection suggested procedure:

  Overview

  Here are the steps described in more detail below:

  1. Create a new Firefox profile
  2. Delete all of this profile folder
  3. Copy in all of the old profile folder

  Create a new profile for Firefox (Windows)

  Exit Firefox completely and start up in the Profile Manager by pasting the following in the Windows search, or the Run dialog box by pressing ENTER:

  firefox.exe -P
  

  Note: any time want to switch profiles, exit Firefox and return to this dialog box.

  Click on the button create a profile, give it a name like OldSettings and skip the option to change the location of the folder. Select the new profile from the dialog box, and then start Firefox.

  Open the new profile folder in Windows Explorer

  Firefox in the new profile should look like a new installation of the plant. Open the troubleshooting information page by using either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • Menu help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table, click on the view file"" button. Firefox will launch your new profile folder in Windows Explorer.

  This folder open, switch back to Firefox and get out by using either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Firefox is closed, the profile folder must be front and Center, or you can activate it by using the taskbar.

  Copy old data instead of new

  In this new profile folder you just popped open - NOT the one on your desktop - select all content (you can use Ctrl + a) and delete (you can press Delete on the keyboard).

  Leave this window open, open or switch to your folder of old data of Firefox. Consult your old profile folder. At this level, you should see a folder named bookmarkbackups among other things.

  Select all (Ctrl + a) and copy (or right-click > copy or Ctrl + c).

  Switch to the empty profile folder in another window and paste (or right-click > paste or Ctrl + v). This may take a few minutes because some files are large.

  Launch Firefox

  Firefox should start in this 'new' profile with the old resurrected profile data. Success?

• recover the old data synchronization

  Hi all

  I bought a new laptop, but when I connect anything in sync gets synced so I lost all my passwords!
  I don't have the key to recovery from the old account to sync. I am able to get my old data sync, which are very important for me.

  THX

  Hi dionix, if you are referring to a recovery key, this means that you use sync 1.1 ("the old clock"). Mozilla stopped and decommissioned its old sync infrastructure and servers late September - this was communicated by product and ad to https://blog.mozilla.org/services/2015/07/31/shutting-down-the-legacy-sync-service/
  old data sync will be gone if you don't have not improved again sync in time.
  You can also transfer data from your old device update to the new synchronization where in Migrating it manually...

• How can I transfer my old data of Firefox on my new Firefox in my new computer?

  My old computer died and I just took my other. After the data has been transferred to my new, I noticed that Firefox was missing. I downloaded it on the net. "I have a file called ' old data Firefox" which was created when I had problems before. How can I transfer to the new Firefox?

• Firefox asked a "refresh", computer locked up before finished, created a "old data FireFox file on the desktop.

  Firefox asked a 'refresh', I pressed the button refresh and process running, computer then locked up to complete before. He has created a "old data file FireFox" on the desktop. I need to understand how trasfer the data in the old file of data in my FureFox 'new' to allow me to access my bookmarks and other. Thank you!

  Hi Ken, Firefox will not start now, complaining that it cannot find its profile, or it starts up, but data are incomplete?

  Here is a procedure to return to your prior to refresh the data. It takes 5 minutes, but it's probably faster than the recovery of individual data files and those in a new profile from loading.

  Check inside the folder 'Old data Firefox' update adds on your desktop in a folder with a name random semi. If there is only one, that probably has your old settings and Add-ons. If there is more than one, you'll want to work with one who has been updated recently.

• How to restore old data from Firefox on Windows 8?

  I just got a new pc that runs Windows 8. I had saved my old Firefox data so that I can restore my favorites and Add ons. However, once I had installed firefox on the new pc, it wouldn't show a new folder in which I could copy my old data. Refreshing, did not help because, when I re - open Firefox, it does not give me the option of using the old data. Help, please!

  I actually managed to fix it myself by going to the Profile Manager and create a profile. If anyone has the same problem, happy to help.

• What is this file, the "old data Firefox?

  After the most recent update (dudes, what happened to the usual explanation of which resulted in the update?) I noticed this file on my desk, "Old data for Firefox." Is where all my Add-ons went? My presets? And so on?

  Is there a reason to keep this file, and if so what could I be able to use him?

  Thank you very much
  BAB

  You recently updated Firefox? Which will cause the folder "Old Firefox data" appears on the desktop. The "old firefox data" is basically old data of Firefox, as its name suggests. You don't need, but you can use as a return to the top if you wish, although it is highly unlikely that you need or like it. Check out this thread for more details. This issue is not related to the update of firefox.

  Have a great day!

  Jon

  I don't remember if this issue has much to do on what it can be used for, but basically, it can be used as a back up. The thread I posted instructions on how to view your current profile data.

• Want the old data of Firefox, old PC died, new recovery keys will remove old data on server.

  I created Sync on my hard drive now unusable, with all my goodies of Firefox on it. I am now on another hard drive but when I try to set up the synchronization and recover my old data, he said that I need a recovery key. I can't get a so it generates one, but a new will apparently remove the old data that I want to do unnecessary synchronization. How to access my old data without a key?

  I was and am now running Firefox 28.0 on two hard drives.

  Hello, it is not possible to recover your old data sync without the recovery key, because the data is stored encrypted on mozilla sync servers and it's the only key to decrypt. If you have already generated a new recovery key and then also data on the servers was overwritten - so I'm afraid that this data is lost for good...

• I did a Reset of Firefox - how can I add my 'old data firefox' back?

  I did a reset of Firefox which was a mistake because it does not solve my problem.

  In any case, I now have a file 'old data firefox"which include things like Ad Blocker more so how I put all these programs in Firefox yet?

  When you reset Firefox and a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, data form) are automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved on the desktop to a folder "Old data Firefox".
  Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, Pref.) that you have made are lost and must be redone.

• Unable to recover the old data synchronization after reinstalling operating system

  Hello

  I was using Firefox 26. Recently, I've upgraded to the latest version. A few reasons, I had to reinstall my windows 7 OS.

  After I installed Windows 7, I installed the latest Firefox and tried to synchronize data. I was unable to connect because I forgot the password. I tried using the link "password forgotten", but he said there is no such thing as e-mail id. It was surprising to me. I'm still all emails, including the secret key, I used to add new devices earlier, since Firefox in my mail box.

  Since I left without another option, if I'm creating a new represent now on Firefox with old email ID. The account is created successfully. Again, it is strange to me. However, my old data are not synchronized.

  I need the old data. Help, please.

  Thank you
  Ravi

  Sorry, Sync was not intended to be used to backup Firefox data before reinstalling the operating system. Its purpose is to synchronize several separate installations of Firefox, usually on the various devices.

  The old version of Firefox 26 uses another version of Sync, the latest version of synchronization happen in Firefox 29. The largest variation in sync had to do with the recovery key ('secret key') - is no longer something to see the user or has to deal.

  You should have installed Firefox 28 or earlier and then connected to your account synchronization to recover your data and then put updated for Firefox 32. By creating a new account with the same email address, your data has been wiped out by synchronization servers to allow you to start a new.
