Another posting prompted by an old message flagged in my inbox ...

With ARCo and the dbwriter code migrating from N1 Grid Engine into the open source codebase the Grid Engine accounting and reporting console is likely going to get more attention and eyeballs from the community. Relating to this, Roland had pointed out the existence of the following page:

... the page includes a link to a downloadable spreadsheet (Open Office format) that can be used to guide sizing decisions. Also interesting is a table listing the default retention times for various data elements stored within the database.
