Oracle Exam 1Z0-499 Topic 1 Question 22 Discussion

B: Action: Archive

Sets the statistic to be permanently opened and archived to disk. If the statistic had already been opened, then all cached data in memory is also archived to disk. Archiving statistics creates permanent datasets, visible in the Datasets view (those with a non-zero 'on disk' value). This is how statistics may be recorded 24x7, so that activity from days, weeks and months in the past can be viewed after the fact.

Note: The term dataset refers to the in memory cached and on disk saved data for a statistic, and is presented as an entity in Analytics with administration controls.

Datasets are automatically created whenever you view statistics in Open Worksheets. A dataset is not saved to disk for future viewing unless you archive it.
