Renormalisation Time

It is possible to re-normalise all the data in the OLIB database from within OLIB Web. Set the Renormalisation Time field to the date and time on which you would like the re-normalisation process to begin. The process will begin at the specified date/time, and continue until it is completed.

OLIB updates the Renormalisation Results field to indicate when it ran and how long it took to complete, and clears the Renormalisation Time field.

Disable Recording of Browser Information

Yes/No whether to disable OLIB's internet browser recording mechanism. This information can be used at a later date to aid decisions on support for newer or older browsers / operating systems. If you allow browser information to be gathered, it is recorded in one of the standard reports in the Reports Library. Predefined report SYS002 User Agent Usage (Report Number -27) records this information which includes the date, application (OLIB Web / Folio), browser / search engine / operating system, number of times accessed. It stores information for the previous 6 months.
