(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 the default and 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A newer version of the MOMI server can read data compressed from an older server version. However, and older version 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:
== use old disk compression
