Summary

By default, TMCM has a set of options for Maximum Log Age under the Log Maintenance section. However, some values that customers need are not available there. For example, the value does not reach 365 days.

Details

To configure the Maximum Log Age value:

Important: Create a back up of \Control Manager\SystemConfigurationxml.

Open the SystemConfiguration.xml file using a text editor.
Look for the following:
<P Value="1,15,30,45,60,75,90,120,150,180,360" Name="m_strLogMaintenanceAgeOptions"/>

There are different default values that appear in the Maximum Log Age.
To add a new value, append the value to the end of the P value. For example, to add 365, change the P value to:
<P Value="1,15,30,45,60,75,90,120,150,180,360 , 365" Name="m_strLogMaintenanceAgeOptions"/>
Start the TMCM service.
