Hi,

Currently we are using the default derby server for our development purpose but after a week I see that the executions history clears and even the logs after 1 week.Is there a way to stop from clear the history every week.

Also can I have more information on how to connect to MySQL database(full overview what needs to be done other than changing the config or tomcat properties )

Thanks,  
Angel

Hi angel,

on Server are by default created scheduled tasks, which removes historical data. See [http://server-demo-ec2.cloveretl.com/cl … ve-records](http://server-demo-ec2.cloveretl.com/clover/docs/tasks.html#archive-records) for details. Basically you can disable it, or increase data life time.

Regarding MySQL: once you configure connection, rest (tables creation and initialization) should be done automatically by Server.
