Modify event table rotation
Table rotation is used by Event Management, by default, to contain the growth of event [em_event] tables within the rotation table group.

Role required: evt_mgmt_admin
About this task
Table rotation ensures that event tables grow to a reasonable size.
Each table rotation has a schedule, according to which new data is written to one of the tables in the rotation group. A table rotation group includes the original table plus several additional tables. After the rotation procedure has written the last table in a rotation, the rotation overwrites the first table in the rotation. By default, the table rotation for Event Management is to rotate the em_table to an offload table and the base table cleanup takes place after seven table rotations. For information about backing up events to a custom table, see Event Management configuration preferences.
Procedure
Navigate to All > System Definition > Table Rotations.
