Calculating the copy pair status refresh interval
You should set refresh intervals values such that copy pair status refresh operations have minimal
impact on management servers and pair management servers. The automatic refresh interval you
specify should be greater than the time required for an individual pair management server to collect
pair status.
To calculate the interval for refreshing the copy pair status:
1. From the Explorer menu, select Administration and then Event Logs.
The event log data is listed in the Event Logs subwindow.
2. Use the message IDs in the event log to identify the date and time when an individual pair
management server (host) started or ended the pair status collection.
The following table lists message IDs that are output when copy pair status collection starts or
ends:
Message ID
Type of system
When the pair status collec-
tion is ended When the pair status collection
is started
KAVN00124-I KAVN00123-I Open system
KAVN00127-I KAVN00126-I Mainframe system
3. Use the start and end time identified in step 2 to calculate the time required to collect the pair
status for an individual pair management server (host).
4. Specify the refresh interval with a value greater than the time calculated in this step 3.

Setting up data retention periods
You can set the retention period for the alert data, event log data, task data, performance information,
and other data managed by Replication Manager. Data is automatically deleted when its retention
period expires. By default, the retention period is set to 30 days and automatic deletion is performed
at 2:17 AM.
To change the default settings, from the Explorer menu, choose Administration and then Data Retention.
For details, see “ Editing the data retention period ” on page 139.
