When running an Import in the Reporting tool, there are 3 options in the Usage & Operational History tab which are as follows:

  • No usage or operational history
  • Delete and replace with new historical data
  • Add to historical data

The Usage & Operational History tab controlls whether or not the information from the Application log on the Directory and Resource Administrator server is gathered.  The Application Event log populates all the reports located under the History of Usage section and details who did what, to whom, i.e. which Assistant Admin, performed what operation, and over which objects.

No usage or operational history - Selecting this option will not gather any information from the Application Event Log detailing which Assistant Admin performed what operation.

Delete and replace with new historical data - Selecting this option will replace all of the History of Usage information gathered during a previous import and replace the data with new information which will be gathered from the Application Event Logs during the latest Import process.

Add to historical data - Selecting this option populates the database with informatin gathered from the Application Event Logs leaving the History of Usage information previously gathered intact.
