• Displays the status information in the management console

• Long Term Retention (LTR)

• Allows the customer to archive data for a very long time
• Allows for providing reports that can report both out of the active data as well as archive data, depending
  on the selected time range

• Index Policy changes

• Gives the OVPI administrator more control by allowing for independent index maintenance of each table

• Location Independent Reporting (LIR)

• LIR allows consolidated near real time reporting in your distributed OVPI setup without having to copy all the rate data
  from the satellite servers to the central server

• PA Collection enhancements, HTTPS collection, Certification Management

• HTTPS collection from OVPA 4.5 agents
• Certificate management wizard for managing certificates needed for communicating with the agents using HTTPS
• Row processing support
• Collection Wizard for creating new OVPA based collections

• Allows for node deletion, along with options to either remove all the data and property information or just the data
• Prevents the deleted node from being rediscovered

Scalability and Performance Enhancements

• Oracle Partitioning
• Until 5.1, we were not exploiting the Oracle partition feature to its potential. However, starting 5.2 we have made the changes
  necessary to utilize the partitions in a way to optimize performance. Correct partitions are created for the data tables, based
  on their time type. Hourly partitions are created for the hourly tables, daily partitions for daily tables, hourly partitions for rate
  tables. This improves the performance of summarization, as well reporting.
• Above change enables db_delete_data to just drop a partition when it needs to age-out the corresponding data. This fastens
  the db_delete_data performance significantly.
• When archiving is turned ON, moving the data from the active table to the archive table is fastened using the partition move
  feature of oracle. The move is performed by db_delete_data. See LTR for details.

NOTE: The partitioning feature is not available on Sybase

• Index profiles

Index profiles provide the administrator with flexibility to have index maintenance fine tuned for different type of tables. This allows
the index maintenance to be distributed over a period of time, as opposed to index maintenance for all tables being done at the same time.

• Location Independent Reporting (LIR)

When PI is setup in a distributed environment, LIR enables near real time consolidated reporting of your entire PI monitored network without
having to copy your rate data from the satellite servers to the central server.

• OVPA Collection Enhancements

After collection has stopped for a long period of time, and then when the collection resumes, pa_collect would ask the agents for all the
data since the last successful poll. This could result in huge amount of data, and severely affect the performance of pa collection. You
can now configure MaxHistoryPoll field in $DPIPE_HOME/data/pa_rpt.cnfg. This tells pa_collect how far back to go and collect the data
when collections resumes after having stopped for a long period of time.

• Long Term Retention

Many customers have the requirement to retain the collected data (or rate data) for a very long period of time. Without having any archiving
support within PI, customers had to increase the retention period of their data tables. This affected the performance of summarizations and
reporting based on those tables. 5.2 now provides support to archive data beyond the retention period. This allows the active data tables to
be small and thereby keeping up the performance of summarizations and reporting.
