By default, DCM saves 50 generate times, of which 20 are "old" times. The number of generate times that DCM stores is defined by the DCM setting No. of Generate Times. The number of "old" generate times is defined by the DCM setting No. of Old Generate Times.
Based on the default values, DCM saves the 30 most recent times at which a transfer package is generated. This value is calculated as follows: 50 - 20 = 30. That is, the No. of Generate Times minus No. of Old Generate Times equals 30.
DCM records these 30 times in the order in which the generate operations are performed. If the user does not regenerate a transfer package from an earlier time, the list of generate times stored by DCM is chronological, with the most recent time being first.
DCM records the 20 "old" generate times based on the value of the DCM setting Old Generate Times Resolution. This parameter defines the interval between the "old" generate times. The default value is one (1.0) day.
For example, suppose a generate operation is performed every hour on the hour. In addition, the default values for these parameters are used: No. of Generate Times, No. of Old Generate Times, and Old Generate Times Resolution.
Given this scenario, DCM would eventually store the 30 most recent generate times. DCM would also store 20 "old" generate times that are at least one (1.0) day apart. Thus, you could regenerate a lost transfer package from 20 days ago.
