Viewing, Archiving and Deleting History Files
History and archive files are systematically stored in the PAMSiteData directory:
< WinDrive >:\Program Files\BULL\PAM\PAMSiteData\< DataCompatibilityRelease >
The PAM History Manager allows you to view, archive and delete history files online and
provides you with the tools required to download and view history and archive files offline.
As Customer Administrator / Operator, you will frequently consult PAMHistory files for
information about system operation.
Note:
System histories and/or archives are only accessible to members of the Customer
Administrator group, whereas User histories and/or archives are accessible to members of
both the Customer Administrator and Customer Operator groups. For further details about
histories and archives, see
Creating a User History , on page 5-93 and Editing History
Parameters , on page 5-94.
