HOW TO: Modify the Active Roles Change History retention period

How long does Active Roles retain the Change History and User Activity information? Is there any way to modify this value?

By default, the Management History is configured to store information from the last 30 days.

It is possible to change the maximum number of records stored in Management History by modifying the properties of the Change Tracking Log Configuration object.

This can be done in the Active Roles console. This setting is located in the Configuration | Server Configuration container (see the attached screenshot).

The following options are available:

1. All requests that occurred during last number days
   Information about change requests is written to the log so that new requests replace those that are older than the specified number of days.
2. This total number of most recent requests
   The log stores not more than the specified number of change requests. When the limit is reached, each new request to make changes to directory data replaces the oldest request in the log.
3. This number of most recent requests per object
   For every object, the log stores at most the specified number of change requests. When the limit is reached for a certain object, each new request to make changes to the object replaces the oldest request related to that object.

 

The below tab will allow you to decrease or increase the number of transactions that are saved in the Management History database.
 

Change Tracking Log Configuration object location

The total number of requests depends on the number of objects that are modified via Active Roles. The options on the Log Record Size tab allow control of the size of the Change Tracking log by controlling the logging of detailed information on change requests. If the log record of a given change request contains detailed information, then the report on that request provides information about all changes made, along with all policies and workflows performed, by Active Roles when processing the request. Otherwise, the report provides information only about the before and after states of the changes made. The Change Tracking log is used as the source of information on both Change History and User Activity.
