Depending on the type of scheduling, Unica Discover Session Archiving waits the following time periods:
- For repeated tasks such as daily or hourly task, Unica Discover
Session Archiving verifies that the session
indexes were updated at least 1 hour after the end of the configured extract time.
If an hourly job is unable to complete in the allotted number of tries, it is skipped and is not reattempted. The next hour, the job is run to collect that hour's data.
- Run Now tasks do not check the indexes.
