Arguments
[ @cache_window = ] cache_window
The number of times a failed data upload to the management data warehouse is retried without losing data. @cache_window is int, with a default of 1. @cache_window can have one of the following values:
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
-1 |
Cache all the upload data from the previous upload failures. |
0 |
Don't cache any data from an upload failure. |
| n | Cache data from n previous upload failures, where n >= 1. |
Return code values
0 (success) or 1 (failure).
Remarks
You must disable the data collector before changing the cache window configuration. This stored procedure fails if the data collector is enabled. For more information, see Enable or disable data collection, and Manage data collection.
