# Configuring Power BI Cut-off Age and Data Types

The POWERBI_CUTOFF_AGE value is deducted from the current year, and then the difference will become the starting date of processing. The starting date of processing will be January 1st of that year (e.g., Current year is 2022, and the directive value is 2. The start date of processing will be 1/1/2020) while the POWERBI_DATATYPES lists the data types to be processed.

Open the openit.cfg in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

Modify the values of the directives POWERBI_CUTOFF_AGE and POWERBI_DATATYPES according to your preference. The default values are 2 and 75,94,95,102, respectively.
Save the changes.

# Configuring the Maximum Age of the dist-config Distributable

This directive refers to the maximum age (in seconds) of the dist-config distributable.

Modify the values of the directive DIST_CONFIG_MAX_AGE according to your preference. The default value is 86400.
Save the file.

# Configuring Classification Values Cut-off Age

Open the openit.cfg in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\.
Modify the values of the directive CLASSVAR_CUTOFF_AGE according to your preference. The default value is three, meaning it will not include data older than three years.
Save the file.

Open the openit.cfg in the openit directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.
Modify the values of the directive CLASSVAR_CUTOFF_AGE according to your preference. The default value is three, meaning it will not include data older than three years.
Save the file.

# Configuring License Status Max Age

This directive controls when the old status files will be deleted. If this directive is not present, the server will remove files older than one day (86400 seconds).

# Changing the Data Loading Behavior of Servers

Open the openit.cfg in the Configuration directory, which is by default in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration\.
Modify the values of the directive SERVER_TYPE according to your preference. The default value is STANDALONE. Two other values may be used for this directive.
- STANDALONE - This is the default server behavior, where the entire database is loaded.
- PRIMARY - This is for the main server in a multi-server setup. Use this value to load all non-filtrator and filtrator data types configured on in the data_generation_config file.
- SECONDARY - This is the additional processing server in a multi-server setup. Use this value to only load filtrator data types configured on in the data_generation_config file.
Save the file.

In a multi-server setup, if you are regenerating data type that is not active on any server, the data type will not be loaded.

To load it manually, run the following command:

Command Syntax
"C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\External\Strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe" "C:\Program Files\OpeniT\
Core\bin\add.pl" --datatype <data_type_no>

where <data_type_no> is the data type number to load.

Open the openit.cfg in the openit directory, which is by default in /var/opt/openit/etc.
Modify the values of the directive SERVER_TYPE according to your preference. The default value is STANDALONE.
- STANDALONE - This is the default server behavior, where the entire database is loaded.
- PRIMARY - This is for the main server in a multi-server setup. Use this value to load all non-filtrator and filtrator data types configured on in the data_generation_config file.
- SECONDARY - This is the additional processing server in a multi-server setup. Use this value to only load filtrator data types configured on in the data_generation_config file.
Save the file.

In a multi-server setup, if you are regenerating data type that is not active on any server, the data type will not be loaded.

To load it manually, run the following command:

Command Syntax
runuser openit -c "/opt/openit/bin/add --datatype <data_type_no>"

where <data_type_no> is the data type number to load.

Multi-server setup must be explicitly configured to behave correctly. There are no strict rules on which servers should process non-filtrator data types.
