DISK-COMPRESSION-TYPE

(default changed server version 6.00)

 

(Default = 3)

DISK-COMPRESSION-TYPE  0 | 2 | 3

 

Specifies or disables the compression algorithm used for storing data on disk, primarily history.

 

The following selections are available:

0 - None

 

2 - Type 2

 

3 - Type 3 (Default)

 

None causes data to be saved without compression and consumes the most disk space.

 

Type 2 is present in MOMI Server versions 3.xx, 4.xx and 5.xx.

 

Type 3 is available in MOMI server version 5.00 or later. This type compresses longer strings of repeat data than Type 2 and generally provides a higher level of compression.

 

A newer version of the MOMI server can read data compressed from older server versions. However, older versions of the MOMI server cannot read data created by a newer server version if the compression type is not known.

 

MOMI's ability to read existing data is not affected by a change in this value as the compression selection is stored in each data record.

 

The default is recommended.

 

Example:
