Statistics of the Archive Port (ARC)

The Archive port is responsible for creating a structured files archive starting from a set of files.

The generated archive organization is time-based, i.e. files are grouped in a set of separated directories on the base of the date and time of their creation. Directories and sub-directories are hierarchically organized in a tree starting from the archive root.

Below there is an example of a source archive:

D:\SrcArchive\
|__ File#1 (dated 2004_03_10, 10:22:37)
|__ File#2 (dated 2004_03_10, 11:22:01)
|__ File#3 (dated 2004_03_10, 11:23:40)
|__ File#4 (dated 2004_03_12, 00:45:15)
|__ File#5 (dated 2004_03_13, 18:30:00)
...
|__ File#N (dated 2004_03_31, 19:51:23)

The figure below shows how the generated archive organization:

E:\DstArchive\
|_2004_03                          (Year_Month directory)
        |_10                       (Day directory)

Terminology top

Archiving
It is the procedure that moves all files from the archive source directory (SRCPATH:) to the archive destination directory (DSTPATH:).
This operation is periodically executed for every activated session (USE:YES) on the base of the ARC-INT: parameter value.
Archive purging
It is the procedure that deletes old archived file from the archive destination directory (DSTPATH:), in order to avoid archive saturation and to create free space for more recent files archiving.
This operation is periodically executed for every activated session (USE:YES) on the base of the PURGE-INT: parameter value on those files that are older then the PURGE-AGE: parameter value.
ZIP packing
It is the procedure that compress archived files found in the archive destination directory (DSTPATH:) in to one or more ZIP packed file.
This operation is periodically executed for every activated session (USE:YES) on the base of the PACK-INT: parameter value.
HD Sentinel
Is is a process responsible for checking the run out of the space available for every hard disk used by the Archive port and sessions.
When the process is activated (INTERVAL:) the current amount of free space of any disks is evaluated and, if the amount of free space of a disk reaches the minimum value defined by the MIN-FREE-SPACE: parameter, then a "purging procedure" is activated on this disk. The procedure will delete the oldes archived file from the disk in order to create the minimum amount of space defined by the MIN-FINAL-SPACE: parameter.
Historical logging
Relevant information related to the ARC port driver actions, errors and any other interesting events are stored in a textual file named "ARC.LOG" and usually located in "C:\LOG\ARC\" directory.
Here it is a sample of the content of the historical log file:

The historical logging activation/deactivation as well as the "ARC.LOG" file location and maximum size can be selected by the user through the HISTORY:, history-size: and history-path: parameters.

Configuration of the Archive Port (ARC) top

The Archive port is identified by the mnemonic "ARC" and it is provided with the parameters described in this section.

Here are examples on how to display the ARC port parameters. Displayed values are samples:

To activate changes made on the parameters displayed by low case characters, it is needed to restart the system; on the contrary for activating changes made on upper case parameters it is enough to execute the initialization command INIT PO:.
Changes made on LOG: parameter are immediately active.

The "Not Saved (SAVE CONF)" message is displayed every time the port configuration is modified but not saved with the SAVE CONF command.

The "Not Refreshed (INIT)" message is displayed every time the port configuration is modified but not refreshed with the INIT PO: command.

Detail of the ARC port parameters

LOG: Events logging activation and generation of alarm signals
DS NO, D, S, A, L, T, ALL, +E

Usually this parameter makes possible to activate/deactivate logging functionalities of meaningful events of the port as well as the detection and signalling of alarms in case of critical events.

The following table shows the available options and the related functionalities usable by the parameter:

Option Meaning
D Recording of the driver state changes and/or the meaningful events in Debug Log
S Recording of the driver state changes and/or the meaningful events in the System Log
A Periodic detection of possible alarms. The detected alarms can be displayed the command ALARM VIEW or by the analogous command available on the UTILITY of the LCD display on the front panel
L On alarm detection, acoustic signal generation plus a message on the LCD display. This function depends on activation of alarms detection by the "A" option
T Generation by the Agent SNMP of Abilis CPX of SNMP traps corresponding to any change of the driver state and/or occurring of meaningful events

Beside the already described options the following values are also allowed:

Option Meaning
NO It means that all the logging functionalities, alarms detection and generation, above mentioned, are disabled.
ALL It means that all the logging functionalities, alarms detection and generation, above mentioned, are enabled.
+E This option added to one or more of the previous ones, extends its (their) set of meaningful events.
The value "ALL+E" activates all the options and extends the set of meaningful events.
The value "NO+E" is meaningless so it is ignored.

Options can be combined together.

Some examples:

By using the characters "+" and "-" as prefix of one or more options is possible to add or delete one or more functionalities without setting from the scratch the value of the parameters.

Some examples:

warning! The changes made on this parameter are immediately activated, without the need of initialization commands.

In the following sample, messages registered in the System Log by the ARC port are displayed:

ACT: Runtime activation/deactivation of ARC
NO NO, YES

This parameter allows to run-time activate/deactivate ARC functionalities.

When it is set to "YES:", the port is configured, active, and the ARC driver performs its activities.

When it is set to "NO", the port is configured, active, but the ARC driver does not execute any action.

MAX-SES: Number of ARC clients
1 1..32

This parameter sets the maximum number of ARC sessions to be supported by the ARC port.

Changes made on this parameter are immediately active, but they don't need the system to be restarted. The new number of ARC sessions can be activated by the execution of the initialization command INIT PO:xxx, where "xxx" is the ARC port number.

HISTORY: Historical logging activation/deactivation
YES NO, YES

This parameter activate/deactivate the generation of an historical log file.

Historical log file is a plain textual file, named "ARC.LOG", where relevant information related to the ARC port driver actions are stored.

If the parameter is set to "NO", the registration of interesting events into the history log file is disabled.

If the parameter is set to "YES", registration of interesting events into the history log file is enabled and the "ARC.LOG" file is created by the ARC port driver in the location specified by the history-path: parameter.

The maximum size of the "ARC.LOG" file is selected by the history-size: parameter.

history-size: Historical log file size
AUTO AUTO, 1%..99%, 100K..65535K

This parameter sets the maximum size of the historical log file "ARC.LOG" created by the ARC port driver during its execution.

The user can select the historical log file size by one of the following ways:

ValueDescription
AUTO By specifying this value, the ARC port driver will use the 5% of the disk size for the "ARC.LOG" file.
1%..99% By specifying a numeric value in the range [1..99] followed by a '%' character, the ARC port driver will use the selected percentage of the disk size.
100K..65535K By specifying a numeric value in the range [100..65535] followed by a 'K' character, the ARC port driver will use exactly the selected amount of space on the disk. If the specified value is greater then the disk size, the driver will use the 99% of the disk size.

The historical log file "ARC.LOG" created by the ARC port driver in the location specified by the history-path: parameter.

This parameter is used only if the HISTORY: is set to "YES".

history-path: Historical log location.
C:\LOG\ARC From 0 up to 128 ASCII extended characters [32..255]

This parameter selects the location where the historical log file "ARC.LOG" must be created by the ARC port driver.

It must be a physical full path in DOS notation, i.e. starting with a drive letter in the range ['A'..'Z'] and ending with the '\' character. Strings of up to 128 ASCII extended characters in the range [32..255] are accepted. Spaces are allowed and strings holding spaces must be written between quotation marks (E.g.: "C:\My dir\"). The case of the entered path is preserved.

If the directory doesn't exists, the driver will create it. If the parameter is left empty, the Historical log will not be generated by the ARC port driver.

This parameter is used only if the HISTORY: is set to "YES".

INTERVAL: Disk space check interval
10 1..65535 sec.

This parameter specify the activation interval (in seconds) for the HD checking process, named "Hd Sentinel".

When the "Hd Sentinel" process is activated the current amount of free space of any disks present in the system and currently used by one of the ARC port sessions is evaluated. If the amount of free space of a disk in use by ARC port sessions reaches the minimum free space value, defined by the MIN-FREE-SPACE: parameter, then a "purging procedure" is activated on this disk. In order to free at least the amount of space defined by the MIN-FINAL-SPACE: parameter, the process will delete oldest files from the archiving session destination path directory ( DSTPATH: parameter).

MIN-FREE-SPACE: Minimum free space on disk
2 1..65535 MB

This parameter sets the minimum amount of space (in Mega bytes) that must be left free on the archive disk. When activated, he "Hd Sentinel" process of the ARC driver will use this threshold in order to check whether a "purging procedure" has to be activated or not to increase the amount of free space on the disk.

This parameter must be minor or equal to MIN-FINAL-SPACE: parameter value.

MIN-FINAL-SPACE: Minimum space that must result free on disk
4 1..65535 MB

This parameter sets the minimum amount of space (in Mega bytes) that must result free on disk after the "purging procedure" executed by the "Hd Sentinel" process.

This parameter must be greater or equal to MIN-FREE-SPACE: parameter value.

PACK-INT: Packing interval
60 1..65535 min.

This parameter sets the ZIP-packing execution interval (in seconds). The "ZIP-packing" process of the ARC driver will be periodically activated in order to compress the files archived since it was activated the last time in to one or more ZIP packed file.

Detail of the ARC port session parameters

SES: Session identifier
0 [0..(MAX-SES: - 1)]

This parameter is the ARC port session identifier. Its range is limited by the value configured in the MAX-SES: parameter.

The session identifier can be used for session specific parameters setting.

USE: Enable/disable archiving session
NO NO, YES

This parameter enable/disable the activation of the present session. When it is set to "NO", the ARC driver doesn't perform any action for this session. When it is set to "YES", archiving, purging and packing procedure are executed on this section on the base of related session specific parameters setting.

Archiving sessions can be activated run-time, without restarting the system, by the execution of the initialization command INIT PO:xxx, where "xxx" is the ARC port number.

DESCR: Session description
empty From 0 up to 80 ASCII characters [32..126]

This parameter allow to assign to a session a brief description. Accepted description values must be string of up to 80 ASCII characters in the range [32..126]. Spaces are allowed and strings holding spaces must be written between quotation marks (E.g. "My archiving session n. 1"). The case of the entered description is preserved.

SRCPATH: Source archive location
empty From 0 up to 128 ASCII extended characters [32..255]

This parameter select the location of the archiving source directory.

It must be a physical full path in DOS notation, i.e. starting with a drive letter in the range ['A'..'Z'] and ending with the '\' character. Strings of up to 128 ASCII extended characters in the range [32..255] are accepted. Spaces are allowed and strings holding spaces must be written between quotation marks (E.g.: "C:\My dir\"). The case of the entered path is preserved.

DSTPATH: Destination archive location
empty From 0 up to 128 ASCII extended characters [32..255]

This parameter select the location of the archiving destination directory.

It must be a physical full path in DOS notation, i.e. starting with a drive letter in the range ['A'..'Z'] and ending with the '\' character. Strings of up to 128 ASCII extended characters in the range [32..255] are accepted. Spaces are allowed and strings holding spaces must be written between quotation marks (E.g.: "C:\My dir\"). The case of the entered path is preserved.

ARC-INT: Archiving interval
60 1..65535 sec.

It is the interval (in seconds) at which the "archiving" process is activated on this session.

PURGE-INT: Archive purging interval
1 1..365 day

This parameter sets the interval (in days) at which the "archive purging" procedure is activated on this session.

PURGE-TIME: Time of the day at which archive purging starts
00:00:00 hh:mm:ss

This parameter sets the time of the day at which "archive purging" procedure must be executed on this session. By default the "archive purging" procedure is activated at midnight.

Hour, minutes and seconds values must be separated by ':' character without spaces.

PURGE-AGE: Minimum age of the files to be purged
15 1..365 day

This parameter sets minimum age of the files that can be deleted by the "archive purging" procedure (in day).

PACK-SIZE: Size of the ZIP packed archive
10240 100..102400 KB

This parameter select the maximum size (in Kilo bytes) of the ZIP packed file to be created for this session when the "ZIP-packing" process of the ARC driver is activated.
